- Harry tries his best to be supportive of Tess, but it’s not always easy as she battles her inner demons.
- The play explores the universal theme of finding someone perfect for us, but how mental health struggles can morph us into someone who is no longer perfect for them.
- Despite the darkness of depression, Supernova also offers a message of hope and the potential for recovery and making peace with our inner struggles.
