The Room

Written By: Maureen Hunter

Synopsis: In this very short play, a young woman working in a hospital is asked to sit with a body until the coroner arrives.  A simple enough request, until the body beneath the sheet begins to glow and the room grows increasingly surreal.  A comic examination of the connectedness between creativity and the awareness of death.
