Director's Note: A few years ago our team began creating a play with David and Tara. We all quickly fell in love with them, their stories, and adventures, and we wanted to share their stories to inspire others to care for our planet as they do. Miriam worked tirelessly to transcribe and sift through hours and hours of our recordings. Then Ravi and Miriam would piece the stories together and read them at 3 am to Kevin, who would help to shape the story. David and Tara would then want to rewrite and add MORE stories and we just kept piecing this puzzle together. It was an amazing detective story, scouring through evidence and making our case till 4 o'clock in the morning! Once the puzzle started to form a picture, what became clear to us was how David and Tara's five-decades-long love bolsters and reinforces their individual convictions and actions for the planet. We thought, maybe their love stories could become a template for others' actions. In Feb 2020, we got to perform the show with a live audience. They loved it and were as moved and inspired as we were. It was magic.
