THE BRIEFCASE
|
About Louis Cancelmi’s The Breifcase.:
“In a garage in suburban Anchorage, a man commits suicide, crippling his wife and leaving their children to confront a world whose landscape has been suddenly, radically altered. Through the lens of this broken family, The Briefcase explores the region between the life we expect to live and the one we end up living, the threshold where an imagined future falls through a real present and into the irrevocable past.”
About Crystal Skillman’s Sleeping World.:
“A deadly quiet and cold church. In the midst of a swirling snowstorm. Four playwrights come together for their first reading of a final and unfinished script by their recently dead friend, Peter. What they find in his last story awakens in them past rivalries, misunderstandings, and unexpressed love. His hand from the grave beckons them to a clearer vision of what they have meant to him, and what they can mean to each other as they struggle to cope with loss and grief. A funny, moving story of mourning and release in a world of writers.”
