LIGHTS PLANETS PEOPLE HC (MR)

Renowned astronomer Maggie Hill gives a lecture about her career to inspire young women to pursue careers in science. At the same time, she attends a therapy session for the first time to overcome paralyzing anxieties. These parallel events force her to reconsider her greatest successes and deepest regrets.

Between space research and self-knowledge, Maggie examines questions of legacy, loss, human curiosity and the economies of failure — and reflects on communication, both between people and (metaphorically) intergalactically. Adapted from Molly Naylor's play of the same name and rendered as a comic by Lizzy Stewart.
