What if you were given the chance to relive the most important moment of your life?
The opportunity to take a different approach, to say what you really meant? 
The chance to escape what fate has determined for you?

Steven Dietz gives Nina and Treplev that chance. 

Ripped from their final fateful scene in Anton Chekhov's The Seagull, Dietz traps these two iconic characters, Nina and Treplev, in a room and doesn't let them out. He gives them a myriad of opportunities to uncross their stars, to find the meaning beyond words. Or as Nina says, "to find the words beyond love."

B. Iden Payne nominated Rachel McGinnis' Nina and Aaron Hallaway's Treplev meet once again after years apart and try find the words to express the love, loss, and hope that eluded them the first time around.
If at first you don't succeed...
