This play was developed at The National New Play Network MFA Playwrights Workshop. This program, conducted annually in conjunction with The Kennedy Center and the National Center for New Plays, provides a graduate–level student playwright with an NNPN-affiliated director and dramaturg, a professional cast for a week of script development, and an introduction to the Network, its Membership, and programs.

Noble's writing makes you feel as if you've known her characters for years. Her wit and strength of craft make this play incredibly engaging. The parallels she draws between the young sailors and the modern researchers are so surprisingly effortless, and creates a story that you can't look away from!
