Oh My Heart, Oh My Home.
The meteorite shook the ground as it landed, igniting a chorus of barking dogs. The house trembled. Voices, soft & low, linger in corners; each a note in the composition of a home.
Gathered around a doll’s-house, award-winning storyteller Casey Jay Andrews weaves a delicate fable about the capacity a place has for holding a feeling. An intimate tale of memory & meteorites.
"Andrews’ storytelling telescopes up & down to show us what is happening at a distance & what is happening close-up. Both down-to-earth & metaphysical, it conjures us as dancing dots in a vast universe & leaves room to piece together the fragments" Lyn Gardner
