Description:
A Play by Toni Press-Coffman about the majesty of love’s uniting bond,
from the earth, to the night sky, and far, far into the cosmos...
Science and spirit entwine when Kyle, a reserved young astronomer, and Zoe, his flamboyant, faithful soul mate, recklessly fall in love. When something as profoundly dark, random and chaotic as the night sky tears them apart, Kyle traces through his past as he struggles to reconnect to the world instead of retreating to the cosmos. Touch is a tender reminder that time and space are wondrous, miraculous healers, and that within even the most sheltered parts of the heart there exists a bright flash of hope.
“A gripping, heart-wrenching, tender drama whose scenes shift seamlessly, character to character, past to present.” —The New York Times
“A deeply touching play.”—The Miami Herald
