A one-act play by a Pulitzer Prize winner. In this compelling monologue, Diane, a successful writer, has returned to her hometown to assist her aging mother. As she responds to the questions of an unseen local journalist, her answers weave a poignant tale of self-discovery. Written with typical Wilson poetic storytelling and raw emotion, it explores the flashpoints in life where choices are made and destinies are altered. Performed by Margaret Curry.
Directed by Mark Cirnigliaro.
Consulting Producer Toni Bashinelli.

Two one-act plays by an acclaimed playwright. In the first, a married couple’s early-morning clash in a hotel room offers a witty look at the complexities of marriage. Performed by Margaret Curry and Geoff Stoner. The second, a monologue, shifts to a Manhattan police station, where a tense interrogation about a mysterious crime evolves into a poignant meditation on love and commitment. Contrasting in tone yet deeply connected, these plays explore human relationships with Wilson’s signature depth and nuance. Performed by Geoff Stoner.
Directed by Mark Cirnigliaro.
Consulting Producer Toni Bashinelli.
What Critics Have Said:
“Deep Flight Productions” launches with a powerful staging of Landford Wilson’s evening of one-act plays, “The Moonshot Tape” and “A Poster of the Cosmos.”
I want to give a special nod to the superb direction of Mark Cirnigliaro, which the two actors, Geoff Stoner, as Tom, (“A Poster of the Cosmos”) a crime suspect who is being interviewed by the police, and Margaret Curry*, as Diane, (“The Moonshot Tape”) a writer with a secret returning to her hometown to be interviewed by a high school reporter, maneuver precisely through the roller coaster of feelings demanded by the stories they each need to tell, with each turn of feeling marked distinctly by a change in demeanor and delivery...The pressure of telling ignites pained emotions in each character. The performances by Stoner and Curry were powerful and heartbreaking. Spectators at this performance were visibly moved by these actors.
Margaret Curry, whose credits include stage acting, film directing and acting, and a cabaret show, “The Space In-Between,” has taken on an ambitious mission with Deep Flight, seeking in her productions “to go to the difficult places, to find the life that wants to break through the cracks.” It’s a good time in our history to turn our attention to the struggles of the individual and Curry is committed to going there.
This production was bursting with possibilities, and I look forward to enjoying what’s to come from Deep Flight Productions.
