It’s a play we saw some years ago about Gander, Newfoundland, and how the people there came together after dozens of planes were rerouted there after 9/11. It’s a remarkable story, and the play is excellent.
Turns out it was recorded and is offered on Apple TV. Apple offers a free month and I highly recommend it.
You can catch some Ted Lasso while you’re at it.

QuirtEvansIt's one of my recent favorites. I started re-watching it.
Pro tip: it's the original cast. The woman who sings "Me and the Sky" is great.

BeeLadyIsn't this connected to Elena's story of how they ultimately bought their home in Newfoundland?
Her husband was on one of the planes if I am remembering right.

Correct!

DanYeah that's a great play. I've seen it 3 times in London (once for me, and twice more with visitors). I'll check it out on Apple.
Does Elena's husband show up in the play or anything? I didn't know about that connection to her. A truly tragic day, but cool for us here to have even that type of connection with what happened.
