Significant Contacts

by Amanda Stamm

In the wake of mass loss — of life, sustenance, and water — the world order has collapsed. Governments have crumbled, leaving only civilians and the military locked in yet another war. The United States has become a barren wasteland.

Diana Winters lives in solitude on the fringes of this fractured world... until a soldier collapses in what was once her driveway. She brings him, Larkin, into her shelter. But with him comes uncertainty. Is he a threat, a lifeline, or something else entirely? As Diana navigates her first significant contact in years, trust and survival hang in the balance.

“This run of Significant Contacts at the new Makers’ Space in Williamsburg is a true reflection of our values. We believe in nurturing a piece of art, and finding the best partnerships to bring it to its fullest potential. After multiple festival runs and developmental readings, we are delighted to premiere Amanda Stamm’s excellent dystopian speculative play in Brooklyn. As an all female company, we are so excited to support new work by female artists and foster those relationships. ”
