    Does human life matter and, if not, why does the reader feel so compelled to root for the characters at the center of this deceptively complex short play? At its heart, this two-hander is a beautiful, subtle meditation on both love and scale. While one character acts desperately out of compassion, the other muses aloud about the bigger picture. So much is said in the negative space that this play demands to be embodied. Neither character says "I love you." Neither character has to. What a lovely, humanity-filled little piece!

    I am impressed at how moved I was by such a short piece, marrying the gravity of this situation by how insignificant life is on this little planet is very clever. I wanted desperately to know if they make it to safety.....Great play!

    There is such camaraderie between the characters in FIGHTING STARDUST that the urgency of the play feels even more potent. Adam Richter writes dialogue with realism and great subtext as one character races to support the other in a crisis. This is an exciting short play that leaves you thinking about the characters long after the last page.

    The infinite void of space pairs well with the unknowable landscape of death, and Adam Richter guides us right along the precipice. From the beginning, this piece brims with tension, Richter's existential dialogue underscored by a life or death situation is sure to have audiences on the edge of their seat. It's the perfect push and pull that keeps me wanting more! A wonderful piece

    Stars are fascinating, but even more so when paired with a frank conversation about life and death, and when tensions are high. Richter's short play does more to explore the minutia of how even the simplest of conversations can reach the highest of stakes.

    Space is an endlessly haunting and unknowable topic, that I could personally think about for ages. In this piece, Richter pairs the vastness and scope of the stars with an immediate and human crisis, creating a whole that's filled with both real and existential dread.
