PLAYS
[STATES OF MIND]
full-length play
When Rhea prepares to attend the memorial commemorating the life and death of her boyfriend Aadi’s best friend, people from her own tragic past start breaking down the doors and crawling through the windows to help her to see that what she wants is not waiting for her there. Questions of capitalism and commitment swirl in this story of how, and who, to grieve.

[and for your last breath?]
ten-minute play
