Come From Away
I had the privilege today of publishing my first article over on Screen Times, a review of musical Come From Away.
This week, in commemoration of the 20th anniversary of the September 11 attacks, Apple are releasing Come From Away on Apple TV+. The film is a stage recording of the musical recorded live this May before an audience of 9/11 survivors and frontline workers.
Based on true events, the musical tells the story of a small community in Newfoundland, Canada, and the thousands of airline passengers stranded there after their flights are diverted in the wake of 9/11. The locals are tasked with taking in these “come from aways” and helping them as they deal with being far from home, all while coping with the horrific tragedy they’ve all just experienced.
You can read my full review on the Screen Times website.
While you’re there, be sure to check out some of the other great articles from Sigmund, Jonathan, and James. We cover everything Apple TV, TV+, Apple Arcade, and more. It’s such an honor to be part of the Screen Times team as co-host of Magic Rays of Light, and now I’m getting to write there, too!
Thanks in advance for checking out my review. If you watch Come From Away this weekend, I’d love to hear your thoughts on it. Feel free to reach out in the comments or on social media.
Until next time, friends!
