Recommendations of Lost Satellites (a ten minute play)

  • David Beardsley: Lost Satellites (a ten minute play)

    Carabatsos has a real gift for dialogue; her characters never seem to say anything directly, and yet they say say so much. That's certainly true of this play, which is about siblings, who are already dealing with one loss and who now find themselves nearing the end of a road trip that, once finished, will only compound that sense of loss. Despite the seriousness of the topic and the real pain her characters feel, the play is funny and quirky. The use of GPS as a means for finding your way emotionally is inspired. Really love this play.

  • Cheryl Bear: Lost Satellites (a ten minute play)

    A powerful piece about the connection between siblings and though the ride may sometimes be tumultuous, they don't want it to ever end. Well done.

  • Steven G. Martin: Lost Satellites (a ten minute play)

    Carabatsos must have siblings. She strikes all the right chords of a relationship between sister and brother: shared memories from decades previous, brutal honesty and judgement of each other's lives in the spirit of familial love, jealousy, and shorthand dialogue to cause pain or create camaraderie. The strength of this play lies in the careful details Carabatsos provides to create two willful characters in a nod-your-head-in-recognition relationship.

  • Jim Wicker: Lost Satellites (a ten minute play)

    The Radio Theatre Project produced Eugenie Carabatsos's play, "Lost Satellites," in 2014. The play tells the story of an estranged brother and sister's road trip. Their GPS is the third character, providing unintentionally insightful and amusing commentary on their relationship's journey toward reconciliation. The piece works beautifully for radio and would be equally effective on stage.
