    “ BRIDGETTE DUTTA PORTMAN’s play is one in which I was totally engrossed from the beginning and surprised at the end. Relationships are dynamic and can be more so when a couple is miles and miles apart for a long time. I love the buildup and the twists at the end. “Red Star, Blue Star” is a wonderful sci-fi. ”
