Vital Organs

Synopsis: A recovering transplant patient determined to stock up before he leaves the hospital. Doctors supplementing their salaries by selling an organ or two. A kleptomanic kid on the loose. A soup-cooking candy striper right out of Sweeney Todd. Calling it a health care crisis would be an understatement...

Notes: Some gender flexibility: several of the roles could be cross-cast if necessary, allowing the play to be performed with up to 1m/4f or 1f/4m. Minimal or suggested set, and appropriate for performance and viewing by middle school age and up. Premiered at Mill Mountain Theatre (Roanoke, VA), directed by John Woodson, as part of Overnight Sensations.
