Minor Complications : Two Plays

In a world where hilarity and heartbreak are next-door neighbours, minor complications inevitably arise. In this first collection of plays by Brendan Gall, including Wide Awake Hearts and A Quiet Place, these Minor Complications become groundbreakingly major.

In Wide Awake Hearts, four nameless friends – a writer, an actress, an actor, and an editor – stumble through the nightmarish landscape of love and infidelity while trying to make a movie about those very things. Reality and fiction blur as all four try to tear everything apart, hoping to wake up to something better.

In A Quiet Place, two amnesiacs in a room with no door attempt to solve the puzzle of their own existence while trying not to kill or fall in love with each other. A great reckoning in a little room, this play will take you from mystery to comedy to tragedy – all with just two men, one chair and a light bulb.
