Sound Mind

Sam has end stage cancer and leaving a portion of their last will and testament via video recording. We are pulled into the world of someone standing on the border of life and death- with a balance of raw emotion and levity we can't help but connect to Sam.

    Sound Mind by Dana Hall is a beautifully written, heartfelt but humorous monologue about a woman leaving her last will and testament to her loved one. There are moments that made me laugh out loud and moments so poignant and touching that I teared up. A perfect performance piece with so many levels.

    How do we ever say goodbye to our loved ones? Knowing our time is up doesn't necessarily make it easier. Dana Hall's "Sound Mind" is a beautiful, heartfelt goodbye that incorporates all the things that life is made of ... pathos, humor, longing ... The piece is honest and real and will tug at your heartstrings. Being very close to this situation in my own life, this monologue holds even more meaning for me, but the message is universal. Love is love, and death doesn't always have to mean goodbye.

    A beautiful monologue about true connection and intimacy that makes life meaningful and manageable especially those who are suffering.
    With comedy routine humor the playwright makes the themes and message more powerful.
