Spirit Control
by Beau Willimon
Synopsis
THE STORY: Adam Wyatt has the perfect family and a perfect record as an air traffic controller.
When the pilot of a small plane suffers a heart attack, Adam must talk a terrified passenger through an emergency landing.
What happens next will link him inextricably to a woman he's never met and set the life he once knew irrevocably adrift.
SPIRIT CONTROL is a chilling and mesmerizing look at how we navigate a crisis, and the demons that haunt us long after.
Press Reviews
"Crackles with edge-of-seat urgency…Willimon shows a sharp ear for real-life dialogue. This play flies into abstract territory, but eventually all becomes clear. It's a spooky reminder of how our lives can suddenly plunge into a tailspin.“ —New York Daily News. ”…fiercely gripping…touching…[with] an intriguing twist.“ —The New York Times. ”Astonishing!"
— Time Out New York
