Play Title:Unforgivable Act
Runtime:91-120 minutes
Synopsis:Set in the context of the USA Patriot Act, UNFORGIVABLE ACT is a play about personal betrayals that have wider socio-political consequences. The play focuses on ALMA DAVIS, whose love for a man causes her to betray both her good friend and her own deepest principles.

When ALMA, a librarian in upstate New York, becomes involved with LEN FRANKLIN, a dynamic, left-wing history professor, her insular, tightly-knit life begins to unravel. Both LEN and SHARON BERMAN, ALMA’s new friend, have a profound effect on ALMA’s understanding of herself, in terms of who she believes she is and what she will allow herself to do. And as she follows her feelings, the impulsive choices she makes will damage the lives of all three people forever.

Notes:Setting: Various places in a town in upstate New York: ALMA’s house, LEN’s house, the town hall, the library, a café. These may be merely indicated with lights and a few pieces of furniture.

There is one design element present throughout, however: Behind a scrim at certain times we see little green pinpoint lights flashing, as though on a giant high-tech computer screen.
