Full-length comedy/drama infused with magic realism
Cast size: 7 men, 2 women playing multiple parts
A Father visits a powerful psychic in order to call his gay-bashed son back from the dead to deal with unfinished business. With a structure inspired by Dickens’ A CHRISTMAS CAROL, this play uses liberal doses of magic realism to explore one man’s journey as he chooses between what he’s been taught, and what he truly wants: to love his son. Through the mystical conduit of a Puerto Rican transsexual agoraphobic psychic, we visit a plane of ghosts and gods, as we struggle to make sense of a chaotic, violent world.
