solastalgia is a fierce, funny, and deeply moving eco-grief drama about what it means to feel homesick while still at home. When Addy, a sharp-tongued, non-binary, neurodivergent teen displaced by wildfire, clashes with Paul, a grieving engineer whose town burned to the ground, the two are forced into an unlikely partnership inside a Ten-Step Climate Grief program. As generational tensions flare and secrets surface, their shared losses pull them beyond blame and into something far more fragile: connection. Urgent, intimate, and unexpectedly hopeful, solastalgia confronts climate anxiety, complicity, and survival in a burning world, asking whether healing ourselves might be the first radical act of saving it.

As the influencer digs into the play, her objections to its misogyny, as well as to the director’s behavior, upends the play and all its players. With days to go before previews, the production is doomed… unless the two woman can resolve their differences. ABIGAIL explores intergenerational conflict around issues of consent and exposes how the excuses we make for our revered giants work to perpetuate the cycle of predatory behavior.
