“Reasons”

“Reasons” is a new, original dramatic play, a story of attempted healing, individual choice, and consequences that lead to an unexpected conclusion.  Richben Collins has had a recent attempt at self -harm, and that brings a new person into his life, Counselor Linsberg. Her questions aim to discover the core of his disturbance. It’s not easy. Richben spontaneously sings out loud, freely opines on the nature of fear, the impact of jealousy, and a new urge that’s overcoming him.  To the counselor, the paramount concern is preventing him from harming himself or others. For that purpose, she tells him a story but its revelations lead to the entrance of a new character, and an explosive conclusion
