“Fuselage”
By Annie Lareau
Directed by Makaela Milburn
Presented by Syracuse Stage
April 30 – May 8, 2027 – Archbold Theatre at Syracuse Stage - Tickets starting at $15 are available here.
Actor, playwright and Syracuse University graduate Annie Lareau, along with Brenda Joyner and Peter Dylan O’Connor, explore her time surrounding the bombing of Pan Am 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland. Instead of being on the flight with 35 of her classmates and close friends from Syracuse University as she intended, she was left behind in London.
With a mixture of humor and compassion, Annie's narrative of the budding lives of young artists is intertwined with voices from those in Lockerbie who tended to the crash, set against the ticking clock of prophetic nightmares and a terrorist plot. Her narrative is a love story to cherishing relationships in this fragile and unpredictable world, deeply connecting us to her journey through the bombing, the lonely debilitating grief, her brushes with overwhelming international media attention and the self-punishment she battled in the aftermath.
