A dream once lost

By Tia Shearer Bassett

Book Overview

2f or nb, ensemble 3+

In a kingdom "far away from here yet very close," a king lies dying. His daughter, Sophi, can no longer stay put in her castle full of sickness and sadness. Convinced she can find a cure for her father's illness, she visits an oracle who gives her a Song of Instruction. Helped along by a group of playful stars, and intermittently visited by the (rather snarky) ghost of her sister, Sophi enters The Repository. In this magical realm, she meets a Counter-King and a host of other curious characters who send her on a scavenger hunt to uncover objects that will somehow save the day. In this play about memory, identity, grief and life and connectedness, Sophi will need to grasp who she is before she can try to put someone else back together.

Full of puns and poetry, wisdom and whimsy, and brimming with heart, a dream once lost explores the delicate journey of losing those we love while finding ourselves along the way.
