Does Cal really see and hear Dayton or is this just wishful hallucinating? Given what’s at stake, does it matter? Frandsen paints a portrait of love in impossible circumstances, with great heart and truthful wit.

At no point does this short version of a longer play feel like an excerpt or at all incomplete. In fact, the lack of expositional dialogue is one of its great strengths. Frandsen puts us right in the middle of the situation at a perfect starting point. The characters and relationships are fully defined and their love for one another is clear.

CHELSEA FRANDSEN’s play, “Unplug”, had an emotional impact on me, as I remembered the anxiety my mother had while she pondered over the Doctor’s recommendation to end the life of her husband, my father-in-law, who was being kept alive while in a coma. This is a truly thought provoking play, and one that will be a hit with audiences.

This piece is a real and honest look at one of the most difficult decisions a person can make. Human, with a great sense of emotion and intensity. A strong ten-minute show.
