About the show: Set in the near future, Nine Years asks what is lost and what is gained if technology advances so that people can choose to remove traumatic moments from their memories. This new play—written, directed, designed, and acted all by BYU students—is a heartbreaking look at love, loss, and the cost of moving on.
