What happens when a person experiences all of her close relationships through a screen? What happens when in-person relationships seem less "real" than mediated ones?
The Screens Between is the second play from the Media Theatre Company. Working out of Northwestern University, the Media Theatre Company examines how mediated elements can heighten the experience of live theatre.
In The Screens Between Meg must find new ways of connecting with others when her fiancé, Dan, leaves to serve with the Marines in Iraq. Rejected by the those in Dan's small town Meg turns to the soap opera Harborview and its online community for support.
