Wayfinding

Jane is an emotionally-numbed new widow. Harrison is an inattentive, self-sabotaging fiancé. In seeking escape, these two strangers collide – both literally and figuratively – tangling their life lines and setting them on a time-bending journey involving an intercontinental plane crash, a magical forest, and a choice that leads them both to an unexpected destination.

Wayfinding

Recommended by

  • Karen Jean Martinson: Wayfinding

    A highly theatrical, quick-moving, powerful piece about the ways we often relinquish our agency, believing ourselves to be fated to continue in our (often self-defeating) ways. Though the play deals frankly with death, it is ultimately about hope and about daring to believe in love and connection. With its many locations and its time-travel-y bending of reality, it is fantastical (in the best way), yet its emotional core is rooted in the experience of being human.

    I loved reading this play. I hope I get to see a production of it here in FL at some point!
