Description Atlanta probes the nuances of friendship and the ways we deal with loss. The central character, 29 year-old Atlanta, is named after the NASA spacecraft orbiting Perth at the moment of her conception. She stands out from her educated, confident friends through her awareness of a deeper, darker side of life. Sensing this awareness, her friends are stirred in different ways, particularly after Atlanta's death. The play weaves together the subconscious world of dreams with that of everyday life.
