Top of PageFirst Chill
Synopsis:
FIRST CHILL is a full-length play which asks the question: How one can honor the wishes of another without knowing 100% what those wishes are? This bittersweet Drama takes place in modern day, small-town Pennsylvania. Clara Scott (50's), a former english professor, now suffers from early onset alzheimer's disease. Her adult daughters, Shelly Scott (early to mid thirties) and Fiona (late 20's) are faced with the difficulty of caring for their Mother as they struggle with the question that, had Clara known ahead of time she'd fall victim to this disease, would she have chosen to keep living? Shelly and Fiona will receive no confirmation that the decision they make is the "right" one. Can they make a life-altering choice based solely on instinct, assumptions, and love?
