Jack Levine: Red Star, Blue Star by Bridgette Dutta Portman

“

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.

A fantastic look at being miles apart and maintaining a relationship. Authentic and well done.
