SIGN OF LIFE is a stage play in two acts. This dark comedy is a story of unlikely, yet lasting friendships; of loss and love and the need for emotional and physical human interaction. A lonely gay man, who suffers from a borderline personality disorder; his best friend, who truly loves him and the hustler from upstairs in need of an escape from an abusive relationship come together on an unforgettable and touching New Year's Eve. At its' core, SIGN OF LIFE is a play about abuse; about people who abuse themselves; about people who abuse others; and about people who allow themselves to be abused. The play requires three actors (2M, 1F) and takes place on a single, unit set. SIGN OF LIFE is for mature audiences. It contains strong adult content, nudity, marijuana smoking and a scene of self-harm.
