artistic relationships and delivering meaningful, entertaining theater.”
Following The Book Club Play, mid-season brings the premiere of the emotionally resonant play SATELLITES( August 6- 16, 2025), penned by Erin Breznitsky and directed by DTF veteran Adrienne Campbell-Holt. This eagerly anticipated production features a compelling blend of romance, humor, and existential exploration, woven into the gripping story of astronaut Mike and climate scientist Katherine, whose unexpected reunion comes after Mike’ s mysterious seven-year disappearance in outer space. The play stars real-life married couple Christopher Lowell( Television’ s GLOW, How I Met Your Father, and films such as Up in the Air and Promising Young Woman) and Kerry Bishé( AMC’ s Halt and Catch Fire, ABC’ s Scrubs, and the film Argo), whose offstage chemistry promises to deepen the authenticity and emotional power of the performance.
Director Adrienne Campbell-Holt articulates her excitement for this newest endeavor:“ Within moments of encountering the script, I recognized that SATELLITES was special. It’ s rare to find a play that is both epic in its scope and deeply personal at its core. Chris and Kerry will bring real authenticity and emotional nuance to this story. The themes in SATELLITES hold a powerful universality. They explore profound questions about how we grow and change over time, and examine whether it’ s truly possible for two people to evolve together through life’ s unpredictable twists. These fundamental human questions— of connection, separation, and identity— are made even richer by the circumstances that the characters face. The juxtaposition of intimate human relationships against the isolation of space adds layers of depth that I find very moving.”

Will Rucker elaborates on why Dorset Theatre Festival is the ideal venue for the premiere:“ Adrienne immediately saw the potential for SATELLITES to resonate deeply with Dorset’ s audiences. The play uses its bold, imaginative premise not merely as spectacle, but as a powerful metaphor for the emotional distances we all navigate in manchester life manchester magazine life life summer magazine / fall 2023 2025 71 71
