Very Blue Light

Marfa, Texas. Two women reunite with their childhood best friend, only to find that his politics have gone askew. With uncertainty defining both the present and future, Angela faces the temptation of adopting her old friend’s conservative lifestyle, while Magna seeks (and finds) some certainty about her way forward when she and a lifelong Marfan encounter the mysterious Marfa Lights. Very Blue Light is a play about people caught in the conflict between emergent technology, our networks, and the natural world, and asks: what does it mean for a chosen family to try to balance those forces?
