press release: In the stillness of flying and falling, you can sense life's cadence. Fast as galloping horses. Heavy as falling bombs. They're the feelings that drive this sweet, shattered romance, told in a way that will stretch your heart from joy to anguish and back again. A story reaching for its happily ever after, tailor-made for Touchstone, where we've felt all these feelings so many times before, from the safety of a summer's dream.
Play Summary: Mary and Charlie embody a love that, if not quite perfect, rings sweetly true from its very beginning. Unfortunately, world events have little consideration for such things, and the lovers part as Charlie joins the war effort, leaving Mary alone with her dreams. An exquisitely personal examination of the cost of war.
Featuring Nate Burger & Laura Rook.
