I've Hit An Iceberg

Synopsis:
In this absurdist comedy, a woman is stunned when she hears the head of iceberg lettuce she's about to turn into a salad ask, "What are you doing with your life?" Flustered and confused (and hungry), she summons a friend to help her find the source of the mysterious voice. Is she crazy or did the leafy roughage really speak? and if so, why did it sound so smug? Interrogated by her analysis-loving friend, she's forced to face her less-than-exciting existence and quirky habits. a moment of truth arrives when she finally confronts her fears and rediscovers a long-buried aspiration. You never know what lies in the subconscious-or inside a head of lettuce.
