Paquette and Truss selected Necropolis as IRHS's Sears Ontario Drama Festival entry before they were sure whether or not their school would be entering the well-known showcase for high school drama. This play is set in a worn-tom country where an American joumajist (male) and a native sniper (female) have an opportunity to view war from each other's perspective. The two students thought the characters would challenge their acting skills, and after learning the script, discovered that the play also gave them a new perspective on the issues of war.
