SYNOPSIS
Every thirty years, the planet Saturn returns to the same place in the universe it occupied on the day of your birth. Its arrival is said to herald pivotal events in a person's life.
In Saturn Returns, we follow one man, Gustin Novak, at the ages of 28, 58 and 88, as he reaches a series of crossroads with three key women and comes to understand how the echoes of the past have defined the orbit of his life.
An enthralling time-bending structure allows us to watch Gustin over a period of sixty years in a series of deftly interwoven scenes. Moving from wry humour to touching poignancy, this new play from one of American theatre’s brightest new voices unashamedly looks for answers to life's big questions.
“A first class travel experience for all who step aboard.”
“This production is excellently constructed, well performed and a memorable piece of theatre”
“A slick, foot-tapping evening designed to chase away the winter blues”
“Every second of it is performed with absolute attention to detail and near perfection”
