Elio and Luna are lovers bound by the stars, a sun and moon destined to meet every dusk and every dawn, rise and fall, come together and drift apart, across a lifetime. With each reunion a loss, and with each departure a gain. Trans bodies shift and age, both weathered and bolstered by time, only realized through radical transformation, yet still able see the truths in one another. Elio and Luna will follow each other through the stars, and back again.
Rose Farrell's returned, iridescent is a new play and trans love story about leaving and returning, transformation, and the perpetual act of becoming. A poetic sensory experience, journey through a life long romance, and a reminder that there is still more time.
TBD has been workshopping the piece with Rose since Clippings 2025 and cannot wait to share this world premier.

About the Artist
THEATRE BY DEVELOPMENT is a new work theatre company based in Philadelphia focused on developing new plays by the voices of tomorrow. We are dedicated to championing new voices on stage and off, with the aim of challenging audiences with new stories and perspectives.
Founded by Monti Cerabino and Andrew Miqueli, Theatre by Development or TBD grew from private readings of new plays by our peers into a new work theater company. We strive to create a community and haven where artists can cultivate new concepts and works, while providing a platform to showcase their skills and talent. With the help of Production Manager Lindsey Silver, we translate new plays from page to stage.
If you're a playwright, send us your script; we really want to read it: theatrebydevelopment@gmail.com
