Where the Leaves Fall

by Wesley Cappiello

A Halloween night hookup is interrupted by a grieving stranger. As the night deepens, desire gives way to something more fragile. WHERE THE LEAVES FALL is a tense, intimate short play about unexpected connection, buried grief, and what it means to truly be seen—if only for a moment.
