On Air Players presents Coni Koepfinger's One Act Play Turbulence. With interviews from the original cast and comments from our subject experts included. Turbulence is the story of an emotional, bipolar artist who is stuck on a metaphoric elevator that never allows her to access the placid reality of linear time. Sophia, surrounded by her work, speaks to a metal sculpture as if it were her unresponsive spouse and her equally unresponsive therapist. The play, inspired by Thomas Zipp’s work, which juxtaposes a figurative sculpture with a painting of rigid lines and repeated patterns defines how Sophia sees the world … as a constrictively designed structure she must somehow, someway fit herself into or escape from.

It is the night before the Festival of Beltane, bonfires blaze as theotherworldly cast is close at hand, druids march to protect the living fires by way of their mystical chants. Jen and Johnny, the star-crossed lovers, attempt to flee from her father’s henchmen, but are caught and hanged. The Eve of Beltane then jumps centuries into the present, where our long lost lovers meet again as students at Notre Dame. This time Jenny proudly returns home with Johnny to her father’s blessing but Derry O’Leary, now a prominent politician in modern day Dublin, still refuses to allow his daughter to marry beneath her social class.
