Bad Blood

by David Simpatico

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.
