Stardust

Stardust

By Joanne Koch.

Product Code: SS1000

One-act Play
Recommended For: High School | College Theatre | Community Theatre
Cast Size: 1m., 1w.

Approx. Run Time: 30 min.

In Stardust, two young people—one trusting, introspective and blind, the other suspicious, defensive and sighted—share a moment of intimacy and conflict while awaiting signs of life in outer space. Stardust is a coming-of-age love story, a subtly evocative look into the world of a person with an obvious physical handicap, an even more clever look into the world of someone with a far less-obvious emotional handicap and a mystery as to whether hope and love are strong enough to overcome that baggage.
