The Ocean and the Star

‎

An original play by Eleni Cosma

‎

'Why do you humans never learn?'

‎

'Maybe because the stars are just sitting there, watching it all.'

‎

A young writer, consumed by an urgent desire to share his story before his time runs out, extends a daring invitation to a star, pleading for her guidance in writing his play.

‎

Plagued by mortality, he implores the star to break the unwritten laws that bind her and join him on Earth for three nights only.

‎

Together, they piece together the fragments of the writer's tale, and the star's own story begins to emerge.

‎

A story in which she was once human too, and she knew the writer in a very different form.

‎

As their worlds begin to collide, and the writer desperately tries to heal his wounds, the star unearths how deeply her own humanity has scarred her.

‎

The piece involves themes of rape, LGBTQ+ rights and reincarnation.

‎

Rating: 14+, due to sensitive subject matter.
