Totality

by Chase D. Fowler

Joe and AJ live in two different timelines, only able to come together when there is an eclipse. This short play (~5 minutes) is about how they choose to spend these fleeting moments together.

Totality

    A lovely meditation on the short time we have to love, with a wonderful sci-fi twist that made this profoundly human tale even more compelling. Truly, I think the punch of theatricality lives in the simplicity of the narrative, making a specific, unique set of circumstances feel universal. I could imagine the lighting design opportunities while reading, which need not be elaborate to pack a powerful punch and serve as the rapidly ticking clock (which is, ultimately, the engine of this play)!

    A beautiful, deeply touching short play with high stakes about the urgency of love. I found myself immediately engaged by these two characters who know they have so little time to express their feelings for each other and try to overcome all obstacles -- including separate timelines -- to be together again. I highly recommend TOTALITY!

    The urgency! TOTALITY is a brilliant short sci-fi love story that is infused with an overwhelming sense of urgency. Chase D. Fowler has given us a beautiful snap shot of a relationship that needs no backstory and leaves us with the longing of hope for a future. But in this moment we have two characters who just don't have enough time in the present. It would be a great scene for actors wanting to work on stakes or inclusion in any short play festival.
