Meet Me at Dawn

ABOUT THE SHOW

Two women wash up on a distant shore following a violent boating accident. Dazed by their experience, they look for a path home. But as Helen and Robyn slowly piece together the nature of their predicament, what emerges is an unravelling of everything they thought they knew about themselves, each other and the life they’ve created.

An extraordinary two-hander starring Jessi Williams and Sheena Irving, Meet Me at Dawn is the dramatic collision of delicate love story and philosophical mystery.

British playwright Zinnie Harris masterfully weaves together moments of fierce humour, tenderness and courage. Harris is multi-award-winning playwright whose plays have been commissioned and produced by the Royal Court Theatre, The National Theatre, the National Theatre of Scotland and the Royal Shakespeare Company.
