Couch Dents by Samuel Piedmonte She sits down on the living room’s faded blue couch and turns on the TV—to turn off the landscape of thoughts—dealing with the swirling. Her body needs a reset‚ but it’s yelling way too loud. Tell no one about it. Tell no one about it. She gets up for a glass of water‚ the tap’s broken and she gives up‚ thinking she was thirsty.

It is an interesting play that wrestles with themes of loneliness and extreme optimism in the face of utter hopelessness.
