[Still in Development]
From metal hooks, patients dangle in a purgatorial meat locker somewhere between the living and the dead. And it’s getting crowded.

[Still in Development]
From metal hooks, patients dangle in a purgatorial meat locker somewhere between the living and the dead. And it’s getting crowded. The bodies have been gathering ever since one brain-dead patient miraculously returned to the land of the living. As the staff at St. Anne’s Hospital desperately search for a reason for the patient’s return, Dr. Adilene Reynolds finds her life crumbling around her – the cause she has built her career on is taking a beating, her mother has become a shut-in, and her ex-boyfriend won’t stop loving her. Matters of faith and forgiveness, the brain and the heart take center stage in the quest to find an answer to the question: What’s it even mean to be alive?
The Nothing That Is Something is a play that takes place in two realms – the everyday world of St. Anne’s Hospital and a mysterious meat locker where beating heart cadavers try to make sense of a life that lead them to this place. The play searches that space outside of ourselves, between one body and another in an attempt to discover the communal soul that links every one of us together.
