Current Work
thank you from the bottom is a multi-media, two-person play about a woman in an involuntary commitment because she is believed to be suicidal after she jumped down a manhole. Gradually, her therapist, the protagonist, learns that the woman jumped to save herself because she thinks the universe is rapidly collapsing. |
