Soliloquy: Reach Out
“Two possibilities exist: either we are alone in the Universe or we are not. Both are equally terrifying.”
Synopsis
After escaping her exploding space station in a slow-moving pod, Reach Out follows an unnamed Passenger as she floats through an empty corner of the universe. As the days pass, and the stars go out, she fears that she will never be found by anyone.
That is, until she begins to hear tapping on her pod’s window. Tapping that won’t stop. There is something out there, and it wants to reach out.
Genre: Sci-fi Gothic Horror
Length: 100 Minutes
Characters: 1-? (1 female & a gender-neutral ensemble)
Reach Out is primarily a monologue, however as the Passenger talks about her life, ensemble members (known in this play as Ghosts) may appear and act out the scenes. There can be any number of Ghosts.
This script could also be utilised as an audio play.
