Photo Flash: First Look at SATURN RETURNS at Theatre Southwest
Saturn Returns by Noah Haidle, directed by John Mitsakis, will run September 9 - October 1, 2016 at Theatre Southwest. BroadwayWorld has a first look at the cast in character below!
An astrological phenomenon presupposes that when the planet Saturn completes its cycle every thirty years of a human's life, that life is affected by deep trauma and change. The play SATURN RETURNS follows Gustin, a radiologist living in Grand Rapids Michigan at the ages of 88, 58 and 28. Gustin in inextricably bound to the women in his life. At 88 his nurse, Suzanne; at 58 his daughter, Zephyr; and at 28, his wife, Loretta. Gustin endures as the women come and go, live and die. By the end of the play all three ages are represented onstage, watching the former versions of themselves make decisions and mistakes that define their future.
Featuring: Suzanne/Zephyr/Loretta - Jenna Morris; Gustin 88 - John Stevens; Gustin 58 - Joseph Moore; and Gustin 28 - Scott McWhirter.
