Night Falls on the Blue Planet
by Kathleen Akerley
Directed by Rex Daugherty
Sep 3 - 27, 2015
Presented as part of the Women’s Voices Theater Festival
Renee has had a rough couple of years. Screw that: Renee has had a rough life, shaped by alcoholism and estrangement. All that changes when she gets a massage and discovers that her body is a world unto itself. With help from her younger sister she starts to map and explore a lifetime of trauma: but is she healing, or is she vanishing into her own world? Will her exploration heal her relationship with her older sister, or widen their divide? Developed as part of Theater Alliance’s Hothouse New Play Development Series, this wholly original work, featuring stunning visual imagery and intricately woven language, presents a woman’s complex and unexpected journey to herself.Cast
