Astronauts in Love

  • Aly Kantor: Astronauts in Love

    I think this short play was designed in a lab to appeal to me specifically. Even as I was reading, I could imagine an underscore - I'm desperate to hear the songs of the planets live on stage! I just love the way time moves in this play. It's an intimate story and, somehow, the direct address makes it feel even more intimate... and the moment when these two finally share space is so magical, even though it's so simple. So much potential for theatrical magic with no need for a major budget!

    This is a fun little two-hander about two astronauts stranded in space on separate missions. Some disaster has befallen the Earth below and the two wonder if they will ever get home...and will they ever meet? Give this one a read.
