The Starry Messenger is the story of Mark Williams, who feels a closer connection to the infinite, starry sky than to his job or his wife, Anne. Though he doesn't believe in fate, a chance meeting with a single mother forces him to reevaluate his life, his faith, and his place in the universe itself.
The London staging features sets and costume design by Chiara Stephenson and sound and music by Alex Baranowski.
