Amy Berryman’s Walden is set in the near future. NASA astronaut Cassie, recently returned from a year-long lunar mission, has arrived at a secluded cabin in an undisclosed location to visit her estranged twin sister, Stella, and Stella’s partner, Bryan. Stella had also trained as an astronaut, but she failed NASA’s physical fitness test.

Bryan is an avowed Earth Advocate. He holds that the government should put money toward problems on Earth rather than investing elsewhere in the solar system. So the visit, though lubricated by bartered wine and home brew, isn’t an entirely cosy one. Old wounds resurface as the sisters attempt to pick up the pieces of the rivalry that broke them apart.

This Hartford Stage production is not the one that recently played in London’s West End. This stream stars
Diana Oh, Jeena Yi and Gabriel Brown.
