Islands of Repair by Leslie Bramm

ISBN #1-933159-74-X
JAC #2006-0024

Cast

  • MAN: Her husband.
  • WOMAN: His wife.

Both characters are erudite and a bit cynical. They are frustrated and have always expected more. They are upwardly mobile and professional. Just not so young anymore.

The Setting
Time
: The 3rd day.
Place
: The entire action of the play takes place on a rubber raft in the Caribbean ocean.

Approx. Running Time: 40 minutes. Notes on the Text: Though the blocking is minimal the play should be emotionally choreographed. The utter banality of the arguments must feel like "life or death" .

Synopsis

A man and a woman are stranded in the middle of the ocean. They battle sharks, thirst, starvation and each other. They are burned, delirious and married. Will they survive?

 "Bramm creates some very interesting abstractions with his stereotypical characters...bizarre and funny with chucks of truth and sarcasm flying around."
