    This bittersweet play gives a wonderful spin on the telemarketer by giving us a little hope and a beautiful monologue to conclude the play. It would be great both staged and via audio only. I'm so grateful it was featured in some scripts literary magazine Issue 5!

    This short play delivers the unexpected. We engage immediately with our logic telling us we are dealing with a relatable telemarketer experience, only to discover one man's desperate need to reconnect with a chance romantic encounter. Wonderfully original and a perfect little play suitable for audio!

Cast was written as open as possible with regards to gender and race. The only character physically present is The Caller, where as the remaining cast could all be pre-recorded, or played by the same individual with certain vocal nuances in place.
