Singularities - one act version

Synopsis:

Synopsis: The play, Charles’ life, and the documentary he is making are all a study in personal relationships: how they start and stop; how they connect and interweave. His experiences are about what if’s, what might have beens, and the loneliness that runs through contemporary American culture. Charles and three women interact in unfinished sentences, unanswered questions, and unresolved relationships. The women represent various aspects of “woman” for Charles: for example, vulnerability (Toast), mystery (Katherine), or sexuality (Julie). The play is a love story that never happens; it is about missed opportunities and paths not taken, randomness, and ships that pass in the night. Charles is a singularity: a point in space, time or the continuum of thought where we can say for certain that there is information we can never know. Action of the play: Charles makes a documentary.
