The Controller is about a marriage in crisis when Bri, who has had to quit her job due to chronic illness, turns to a golf video game for escape. There she finds a community that gets her through a difficult season. When a misogynist accuses her of cheating at the video game, however, she goes to extreme measures to clear her name. In doing so, she may lose her marriage. The play is about identity, chronic illness, public shame, and marriage; and asks – how do you maintain your sense of self when the core things that defined you are taken?
