In Stargazers, a grieving mother contemplates selling her Kansas farm — guided, she says, by the ghost of her daughter. While her ex-husband and neighbors fight to keep the land, an East Coast developer hopes to build a progressive utopia that would alter the landscape forever.
Stargazers is a play about land — land that hosts campfires and funeral pyres, pasture parties and picnic tables, ABBA and boxed wine, and skeletons buried in the corral. But most of all, it’s a nocturne about the women who love a place even when it has no place for them.
