sun-stopping

by Emma Gibson

It’s the first day of the rest of their lives. It’s also their last. Ramona, Pip and Liz meet on a cliff to celebrate the end of school and the summer solstice – a moment when the sun stops in the sky, hovering on that small window when it could go in either direction. And so could they.

A new play about memory, regret and the stories that heal us.

    The community of National Committee readers for the 47th Bay Area Playwrights Festival advanced sun-stopping as a Semi-Finalist at Playwrights Foundation. We leaned into the poetry of this piece; we felt this playwright has a remarkable ear for lyrical, deeply honest dialog. We hope this play is considered for further development and investigation, and finds dedicated collaborators in this play’s journey towards production.
