Description

Robert Rinfret
30 minute drama
2 men, 2 women

This play is a story about doing the right thing. Through James, a lonely, bitter man, we learn how to reflect on our own lives and make the right decisions. A strong character, he belittles his loving daughter who does everything for him. It takes an old friend and a soulful metaphysical conversation to help him realize that his life must change. But is there still time?
