Recently diagnosed with a disease deemed terminal, and faced with this unusual situation, Daniel becomes acutely aware of the need for community and human interaction. In this funny, poignant, and insightful solo play, Brooks invites us to eavesdrop on the anxieties, joys, obsessions, and fantasies that lurk in the corners of our minds, while bearing witness to our shared need to be heard and understood.
