THE CIVILIANS’ THE GREAT IMMENSITY
By Steven Cosson
Music and Lyrics by Michael Friedman
Directed by Steven Cosson
Polly, a photojournalist, disappears while working in the virgin rainforests of Barro Colorado Island in the Panama Canal. Phyllis, Polly’s twin, embarks on an international search for her lost sister that spans the North American continent, from the tropics to arctic Churchill, Canada. With great wit, intelligence and theatricality, The Civilians weave the sisters’ story as they survive polar bears, tundra buggies, snakes, and a Chinese pimp – all while grappling with the harsh and seemingly hopeless realities of climate change.
