A mother from New Jersey roams the hills of Lockerbie Scotland, looking for her son's remains that were lost in the crash of Pan Am 103. She meets the women of Lockerbie who are determined to convert an act of hatred into an act of love. Loosely inspired by a true story. Written in the structure of a Greek tragedy; a poetic drama about the triumph of love over hate.

Show Sponsors: Stevensville Family Dentistry and Rolfe Jenkins

​Audition Instructions:
Auditions will consist of cold reads from the script.

Perusal scripts are available. Please email kraigkirkdorfer@hotmail.com to arrange to check one out.

Note on Accents: It is my hope to have the Scottish characters speak with a Scottish accent. I think it is helpful in not only distinguishing American form Scottish, as well as Greek chorus from the main players. The dialogue is written in poetic form and not traditional prose, and the Scottish accent really drives and elevates the musicality of the lines. That said, I will not put a bad or distracting accent on stage. I hope to have a Scottish person coming in to help, and I will continue to look for other resources as well. If you feel comfortable trying an accent at auditions, please feel free but don’t think that I will be expecting perfection. Kraig Kirkdorfer
