Plays

  • Rewilding
    Elaine and Diane are finally back in their office for a nice week of business as usual—or that’s what they were expecting when they came in this morning.

    Anchored in two eras on the same unforgiving Arctic seas, Franklin centers on two determined women forced to share a cabin aboard a modern-day research vessel. Caught bridging the gap between fact and story, art and science, the analytical Caroline and the intuitive Kira find themselves as trapped as the icebound crew of the 1840s expedition to find the Northwest Passage. Echoes from Franklin’s doomed journey lead the women through layers of history towards the lost ships, revealing that the truth can only be found when we listen to all sides of the story.

Suddenly anything is possible, and this new discovery has given Nora the strength to finally give her mother what she asked for years ago.
