A Drama in Two Acts

Jeffrey Morrison is a highly successful senior partner at a prominent and conservative Boston law firm. He is close to achieving his lifelong dream of being elected as the firm’s board chairman.  Suddenly, this dream is threatened when, in the middle of the night, Jeffrey’s degenerate brother, Phillip, breaks into his Beacon Hill townhouse covered in blood.  Phillip explains to his highly successful brother that he and his underage, illegal immigrant girlfriend have just murdered a man. He goes on to describe how he slit his throat and then carried the victim’s bloody, lifeless body into an alleyway, under an archway, and deposited it into a garbage dumpster. Jeffrey’s first concern is not for his brother’s welfare but that this crime may jeopardize his chances for the chairmanship. He cannot risk his chances of getting an appointment for anything, so he takes control of the situation. As the story untangles, we learn that nothing is how it first appeared to be. Jeffrey’s determination to win the Chairmanship… regardless of what may be required, is the one thing that remains unchanged.

The play has a cast of three (2M/1F) and runs approximately 90 minutes.
