ONE-ACT: Two artists attempt to write a new musical, but their dependency on substance hinders the creative process. Solomon and Matilda are as passionately in-love with heroin as they are with each other. Matilda got clean under the nose of Solomon, who uses substances for his artistic gain, or so he thinks. The play chronicles multiple facets of dependency with two characters who are empathetic at their core, but have been corrupted by their addictions.
This play is a unique experience for the audience, as there's an eclectic mix of theatre, music and poetry weaved within within tense dialogue. The structure itself runs as one continuous scene with only two characters on a bleak stage. It's a language play at its core with theatre of cruelty on its skin, it's a play that is painful to watch, but you are compelled to continue watching as there's a sense of hope, albeit ever-fleeting. It will provoke thoughts on drug use and its impact on artists, the people around them, and on those who have to experience or have experienced it, along with draw a parallel between a toxic relationship and a drug addiction.
