2023 – Urinetown

Photographs by Paul Ashley

In a dystopian city recovering from a 20-year drought, a terrible water shortage has made a basic human need practically impossible. A megacorporation has put a ban on private toilets, and citizens are required to use the public facilities – and pay. If anyone breaks the rules, they are sent to “Urinetown” and never return. One day, one of these citizens decides enough is enough and plans a revolution to free the city from the harsh regime.
