Did anyone see this in LA? Im not really familiar with Rupp’s work, but the plot sounds interesting.

Rupp has been in several productions of the play. She's superb, and I'm glad MTC didn't try to shoot for a bigger name.
I saw the play in the Berkshires over the summer and liked it quite a bit. It's a lot more nuanced and complex than I thought it would be going in.
"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe."

I saw this in a regional production in North Carolina and thought it was an interesting premise, but the resolution was intensely unsatisfying. Maybe the author has done some work on it since then. I can picture Rupp being a delight in the leading role.

Perfect descriptor for her! A Delight.
