Brilliant Traces 

(Coming Soon!)

Written by Cindy Lou Johnson

Premiering at the Sonnet Theater

Snow Texture Close-Up

As a blizzard rages outside a remote cabin in the wilds of Alaska, Henry Harry lies sleeping under a heap of blankets. Suddenly, he is awakened by the insistent knocking of an unexpected visitor –who turns out to be Rosannah DeLuce, a distraught young woman who has fled all the way from Arizona to escape her impending marriage, and who bursts into the cabin dressed in full bridal regalia. Exhausted, she throws herself on Henry's mercy, but after sleeping for two days straight, her vigor – and combativeness – return. Both characters, it develops, have been wounded and embittered by life, and both are refugees from so-called civilization.

Thrown together in the confines of the snowbound cabin, they alternately repel and attract each other as, in theatrically vivid exchanges, they explore the pain of the past and, in time, consider the possibilities of the present. In the end, their very isolation proves to be the catalyst that allows them to break through their web of old grief and bitter feelings.

(From Concord Theatricals)

"Your heart can break you know? It's a real thing. It cracks and splits, and all this warm fluid comes out and you can't move or speak or think because your veins are filled with it."
