<\/div>\n
Many people who know nothing about astrology are still familiar with the concept of the Saturn Return, the time when we turn 28-30 and are forced to leave our childhood behind and embrace the responsibility (Saturn) of adulthood. \u00a0<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I could find no biographical information about playwright Noah Haidle, but it appears that he was 26 in 2005, giving him a birthdate of 1979. \u00a0<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
A similar play called Saturn’s Return\u00a0<\/span>was written last year by Australian playwright Tommy Murphy who says the idea came at a difficult time in his life when his sister told him Saturn was returning to explain what he was going through. \u00a0Murphy said\u00a0in an interview<\/a>, “”Whether we chose to believe in astrology or not, it’s an idea or metaphor that I found interesting,” Murphy says. “I was interested in the notion of a more authentic person emerging after this process of upheaval and the consolidation of adulthood. What is that movement of upheaval, that call to responsibility, going to be for this generation, this time around? Who will this more authentic person be?” \u00a0Like Haidle, Tommy Murphy was born in 1979.\u00a0<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Haidle’s plot involves not only the Saturn Return at age 30, but all three stages of the Saturn Return to demonstrate how life unfolds in Saturn cycles. \u00a0I’m looking forward to finding more information about Haidle and his Saturn experience!<\/div>\n
