Synopsis

Ana is on scholarship at a boarding school far from home, deeply and distinctly alone until she crosses paths with day student Jonah.

They navigate the edges of this new relationship, tentative and heady, but something else is stirring – what begins as an exploration of new, exultant desire shifts into more complex negotiations of intimacy and survival.

A story of fracture and resilience, what bodies carry and what they can release, and the radical possibilities of trust.

Press Reviews

"Always fascinating – an experiment in disorientation that is never less than very absorbing thanks to Bonds’ extraordinary gift for language."
— The Wrap

"A slip-slidey, stunning new play. Practically humming with tension. The kind of play that reveals itself slowly but entirely, without undermining its own considerable power by wrapping anything up neatly."
— The New York Times

"Well-composed… a worthy look at the stories we tell ourselves."
— Theatrely
