PLEASE SEND A SELF-TAPE OF A 1-MIN COMEDIC MONOLOGUE TO: [email protected]
DESCRIPTION
30-MIN SHORT PLAY
SAFE PLACES: An Odyssey of Therapy. David's life is falling apart. His wife only communicates by email, his son is a budding arsonist, and his daughter eats pencils. Determined to fix himself, David embarks on a single day of therapy — three sessions, three increasingly unhinged doctors, and one growing suspicion that something larger is going on. An absurdist comedy about the lifelong human need to be taken care of, Safe Places asks whether growing up is something we choose, or something that simply — eventually — gets chosen for us.
CASTING ONLY FOR:
DR. KOLT (30s–50s): A slow-speaking, unnervingly calm therapist whose methods blur the line between deep spiritual attunement and total inappropriateness. Kolt communicates almost entirely through physical proximity, unsolicited touch, and an obsessive generosity with candy. Kolt is sensitive and rarely flustered, except when he suddenly, completely is. Requires equal command of preternatural stillness and sudden hysteria, often within the same breath. Physical comedy is necessary. Doubles as LUNA, David's young daughter.
