I was immediately drawn to Bill's The Wild Hunt as this kind of play; but with something completely new and original. In The Wild Hunt there is a central idea that we have lost our stories and that we desperately need a new mythology to explain the changes in our world. And we do not have this story and we are therefore lost. The central character of Bill's play is a young woman who seems to have some kind of deep understanding and the power of premonition almost a Cassandra like power to foretell a future that she does not understand. Bill's play captures a feeling, a time, a condition we are living in of disconnection and fear. Perhaps we have lost the basic understanding of the meaning of our lives and ignored to find that again we need to find new myths to explain our new world. The Wild Hunt for me is an attempt to reconnect us to each other, to the world in crisis and perhaps most importantly to ourselves.

Jennifer Lynch directs this thriller starring Julia Ormond and Bill Pullman as two FBI agents posted to a remote police station in Santa Fe to investigate a series of gruesome murders carried out by a mysterious masked gang.
