lost season

In Development Presentation

Duration: 25 mins

lost season is an experimental performance that spans an entire season of a fictional TV procedural titled Agent Faraway: Ghost Detective, a cult hit from the 90s in which a paranormal detective investigates souls stuck in limbo, and shepherds them to the afterlife. The play explores the nonlinear nature of grief and mourning. The narrative unfolds through consecutive stages of shifting forms and media: a fan museum with artifacts and merchandise, followed by a performance from six disintegrating “Auto Star Marionettes.” lost season invites audiences to a multiplicity of ways to piece together the mysterious story of the show’s lost season.

lost season by Conor Wylie is currently in development through the Associates (2025-28) program at the Playwright’s Theatre Centre (PTC), with dramaturgy with Davey Calderon. PTC Associates program supports a playwright or theatre artist in residence towards the flourishing completion of their project at the end of their 3-year tenure.
