10-MINUTE PLAY: A parent and child reconnect in the most unique way, tearing the fabric of their own realities to find the threads of what remains in the space between.

As Xan utilizes technology to access a hologram of their deceased mother, Deb, they both find more than either expected. And as the implications of this relationship are discovered to be more fluid than fixed, both must decide what truly matters...

    A unique 10 minute piece. The characters are solid and a good challenge for actors, the plot is exciting and moves with force and the premise is a solid glimpse at the future of grief and therapy. Nicely conceived and well written, this would be a nice piece to see on stage.

    I love this play so much (and the human who wrote it, John Mabey) that I use it as a teaching tool in my course 'Writing the Ten-Minute Play'. A absolute stunner of a play, exploring grief, last words, what's left unspoken, what should be spoken, and how we as human beings move forward (or don't) after a tragic loss. Written with Mabey's gorgeous dialogue, fervent imagination, it's timely and timeless. Every time I read it I marvel at its construction and humanity. Produce it always and often!

    What an absolutely tragic and beautiful dance human and hologram dance as they maneuver a new, frustrating, and ultimately purposeful relationship. Such a lovely short piece about grief and moving forward... any way possible. Thank you, JOHN MABEY.
