The story
Twin sisters consider love and the fate of the world. In the near future, Stella has created a new life with her fiancé Bryan in a remote cabin in the woods. When her sister Cassie comes to visit after a year-long Moon mission, the reunited siblings must find a way to heal old family wounds. But as these siblings reconnect, humanity’s fate hangs in the balance and they ultimately must choose between life on a volatile Earth or pursuing an uncertain future in space. This engrossing new play wrestles with the gravitational pulls of duty and desire.

““Perfectly executed with memorable characters and rife with emotion… WALDEN is the best kind of speculative fiction, balancing the most crucial questions about humanity’s future with the problems of three little people… This is one I’ll be thinking about for a long time, and WALDEN’s life on the stage should be just as lengthy…
... a remarkable experience that shouldn’t be missed.”
