Windows
Stage - Broadway Bound - Fall 2024
Windows, a dramatic new play by New York Times bestselling author
Tawni O’Dell, is based on the highly acclaimed Podcast/Audio Drama, Closing the Distance (written by Ms. O’Dell) which when released as a Podcast during the lockdown, it soared to the top of the charts and received universal five-star reviews. WINDOWS made its world premiere stage debut in March of 2024 at NYC’s prestigious Town Hall. The production featured an all star cast of Broadway, TV and film stars and the reception was simply sensational.
Windows asks: Is everything okay in there? 11 lives, 8 stories, 24 hours of endless frustration, fear, hilarity, anger, loss, and love unfolding behind curtains, blinds, broken glass, and bars. Whether navigating the self-reflection of isolation, or the unease of a chance meeting between strangers in need, or the simple realization of how much we value our most basic connection with others, Windows delves into the devastation and new beginnings found in a world forced to face an abyss together but alone. What we each endured as individuals when time suddenly stood still may have differed, but we were all changed by the experience. Our characters reshaped. For better or worse. What were you doing in 2020?
Prior to production Director Mitchell Maxwell stated the importance of Ms. O’Dell’s stunning new play. It is essential that the artistic community clearly understands the changing landscape that our society authors. In turn, an artistic response is not one to judge or to politicize, but simply to provoke thought as a conduit to change and understanding. Whether realized or not, the pandemic changed us all in myriad ways that transcended the physical.
We as a country must address the emotional carnage of Covid. The media pays lip service to what the pandemic did to the emotional state of our nation. Now that people are not dying in vast numbers, we as a society have "moved on," leaving a country cloaked in depression, substance abuse, suicide, and whose denizens walk beneath a cloud of soot. It is time for the creative community to address these lingering effects the way the great artists of the past addressed similar sensibilities that followed both World Wars, the Depression, Vietnam, and 9/11. We must purge/talk and share in order to heal and move on toward brighter days. This is a legacy play.
