"…a thought-provoking work… that dilemma is animated in a trio of sterling performances, each one grappling earnestly with a divided self."
“In the near future, Stella and her fiancé, Bryan, are waiting at their remote cabin for Stella’s estranged twin sister, Cassie. Raised by their astronaut father to be NASA scientists, the twins have taken different paths: Cassie has just returned from a successful moon mission, while Stella left NASA behind. When Cassie arrives, old conflicts reignite, forcing the sisters to choose between life on Earth or pursuing a future in space, as humanity’s fate hangs in the balance. WALDEN is a thrilling and engrossing new play that wrestles between the gravitational pulls of duty and desire.”
"A scene late in the play between Stella and Bryan stands out as one of the most delicate and affecting moments of theatre this season.
It is sweet, raw, and deeply human."
