Meet Me at Dawn 

Written by Zinnie Harris

Premiered at Edinburgh International Festival, 2017

Two women wash up on a distant shore following a

violent boating accident. Dazed by their experience,

they look for a path home. But they discover that this

unfamiliar land is not what it seems – and that, though they may be together, they have never been further apart.

Unflinchingly honest and tenderly lyrical, Meet Me at Dawn is a modern fable exploring the triumph of everyday love, the mystery of grief, and the temptation to become lost in a fantasy future that will never be.

Inspired by Orpheus’s desperate reclamation of his wife Eurydice from the underworld, Meet Me at Dawn is written by the award-winning playwright Zinnie Harris and directed by the Traverse Theatre's Artistic Director Orla O’Loughlin.
