Geminids

by Andra Hunter

Lorelei’s not ready to look in the mirror…so instead she turns her face toward the deep, black night. As silver streaks break the sky, Lorelei finds herself able to scream, to cry, and to begin to face the truth she’s been neglecting.

Geminids

  • Philip Middleton Williams: Geminids

    The stars have always been a mystery to us. Legends tell us that they guide our fate, grant us wishes, predict the future, and even if the nearest one is light-years away, they are as close to us as the touch of a hand or the arms of a loved one. In this exchange between two people as shown at the Midwest Dramatists Conference, we are with them in their journey. A lovely and haunting play. (10/5/24)

    I saw this as a staged reading at the Midwest Dramatists Conference and loved the dynamic between the two women. The release that Lorelei felt against the backdrop of a starry sky was set beautifully and so relatable. I wished it could have gone on! Loved this.

    9/30/24: Geminids caught me by total surprise at the Midwest Dramatists Conference this year, and it gives me confidence that Andra Hunter is a playwright to watch. Meditating on wishes and desires with a gorgeous meteor shower backdrop, this short play moved me to (sad, then happy, then happy-sad) tears with its poignant and thoughtful drama. Do yourself a favor and read this play!
