In the short play (con)fusion, Dan is a good man and Sadie is a lovely lady. Alas, they are both human and have fallen prey to the rituals and routines that eventually befall all those in relationships: they have stopped communicating with each other. They talk at each other, not to each other, repeating the to-do lists that occupy space in their minds. Now the bedroom, a sanctuary for seduction, has become a refuge of rejection between them. They bolt out of bed into the societal roles that entrap them until eventually they end up in the arms of strangers.
Mark Dylan Brown is the playwright. His previous plays include The Midsagittal Waltz, Simulating Flight, and Rosetta Stoned. He attended the UCLA School of Theater, Film & Television.
Bernadette Armstrong directs a cast that includes Cynthia Gravinese Brown as Sadie, Jeffrey L. Johnson as Dan, Leah Jarvik the Bartender and Gareth Williams as the Old Man.
