Stylized
The Dramatic Circle
Suzanne Alexander and her sister-in-law Alice, two African American writers in London, participate in an unusual literary circle's reading of Bram Stoker's Dracula. This is a radio play.
CRASH
The fractured unraveling of memory: an unnamed rape survivor has a flashback during her father's funeral. Details of the horror she endured at the hands of a stranger in a Montreal apartment a decade earlier are slowly revealed, interspersed between scenes showing how the traumatizing crime affected her relationships with her family members afterward, and their relationships with each other and God.
