Synopsis: | Joanna's Air Force husband has a new command in England, and the transfer has taken its toll on Joanna's state of mind. One night she feels an unusual presence in the sky, which soon becomes connected to two other mysterious sky sightings: Julie, a local woman, claims to have had an encounter with fairies; and Charlie, an airman under the command of Joanna's husband, reports having seen a bright, metallic disc take off in the woods and flash across the night sky. Joanna befriends both Julie and Charlie and becomes involved in their lives as the outside world begins to learn of their alleged encounters. Prosper Blondlot, a flamboyant paranormalist, arrives to capitalize on Julie's experience, while Karla Banning, a government debunker, attempts to quash Charlie's story. Caught up in a battle between "faith" and "skepticism," and torn between her own beliefs and doubts, Joanna finds herself becoming alienated from her unsympathetic husband. Other lives also begin to fray, as Julie's husband moves to take custod | |||||

Synopsis: | After a frustrating rehearsal on the eve of an important concert, the four members of the Morpheus String Quartet bicker and then go their separate ways, to their separate beds, to dream their separate dreams. But as their subconscious stories play themselves out, the words and images of their individual fears and yearnings begin to mingle until, in a final movement of surreal clarity, they achieve a surprising, syncopated harmony. Language and bold theatricality take the fore in this contemporary consideration of sex, death, love, loss and atonement. | |||||
