The Suitcase
The Suitcase is a ten-minute play.
A couple has moved from place to place with an unopened suitcase for over thirty years. Just as they are about to load it onto their truck, a stranger arrives, determined to see it opened. This play explores the effect of long-held secrets on the human heart.
