THE SEA & THE STARS
A New Play by Harrison David Rivers
Simon is a lifeguard. Finn is terrified of water. Both are adrift, with broken hearts, returning to the tiny beach town of Jupiter and to families who need them. A story about love, karaoke, and the sea, The Sea & The Stars is a romantic comedy that examines the universal need for connection and closeness.
The Sea & The Stars was commissioned by Transport Group in 2020.
