Miranda

Miranda

4F, 4M, full length

In overlapping timelines, Miranda and her son Grayson caretake for a motel in upstate New York amidst a startling gravitational anomaly. Mei and Hal drop by the motel after their car breaks down, Young Grayson is stuck with his mentally ill mother Middle Miranda, and Young Miranda is the smartest person in 100 miles.

Miranda is positive that she is stranded on earth due to a serious misstep in the universe. The play ends when Miranda finally leaves her life in the motel to return to her origin - a moon orbiting around our solar system’s seventh planet. The departure and then return of such large weights in the gravitational system leave Earth completely discombobulated - and its inhabitants without a linear progression of time.
