Meet Me at Dawn
written by Zinnie Harris
directed by Michael Fontaine
featuring Ilana Niernberger & Amanda Vitiello
April 4th-19th
Two women wash up on a distant shore following a violent boating accident. Dazed by their experience, they look for a path home. But they discover that this unfamiliar land is not what it seems — and that, though they may be together, they have never been further apart.
Unflinchingly honest and tenderly lyrical, Meet Me at Dawn is a modern fable exploring the triumph of everyday love, the mystery of grief, and the temptation to become lost in a fantasy future that will never be.
Meet Me at Dawn by Zinnie Harris premiered at the Traverse Theatre in August 2017 as part of the Edinburgh International Festival.
