Eight Minutes is a radio play that follows the carpool of five friends after school. The title refers to the time it takes for light from the sun to reach people on earth, the same time it would take for people to realize if the sun suddenly disappeared. Paying homage to Thornton Wilder’s American classic, Our Town, Eight Minutes explores the normal lives of these friends in the grand scheme of cosmic events. Over the course of the play, they discuss ambitions, failures, and love from a teenager’s perspective. All of this while their radio counts down the minutes before darkness reaches the earth.
