Stage Play
The Trunk
(short drama/surreal)
A station agent at a railway depot confronts a man dragging a heavy trunk. He refuses to let the man board–Carry-on luggage only. The man goes into a rage, then tries to assess which baggage he might leave behind.
This “unpacking” takes him on a journey over his past life and dream-like encounters with his wife and son. Can he unpack enough to allow him admission to the train? And where is it going, anyway?
