Orion : A Play

When Sam and Gwen's relationship comes to an abrupt end, Sam is guided through the wreckage with the help of his friends Scott and Abby to find his place in Gwen's life, while a part of Gwen may not be ready to let go of Sam either. Orion tells a story of love’s complexity at the start of our adult lives and those love relationships that end, but never really leave us. This play about relationships, far beyond an ordinary breakup drama, uses honesty, charm, and humour to dig deeply into the reasons why we love and make the sacrifices we do. The first full-length play of a rising star in the playwriting world, Matthew McLachlan provides a knockout debut in which fans of great contemporary plays are sure to love.
