The challenge is to live in this world, not a new one
A veteran US astronaut is about to land back on Earth after completing his very last space flight. A lonely ham radio operator in Donegal is surfing frequencies in want of some company. This unlikely pair of conversationalists collide with life-altering consequences.
Static is a lyrical, searching play about isolation and the painful contradictions that surface when people try to connect.
