TOUGH CALL

TOUGH CALL

An original two-act play by Cape Breton's Viewer Discretion Productions

1986 - New Year's Eve.

Dean is working the graveyard shift at a local TV station, wasting time in the back office as the world outside cheers the coming of the new year. His solitary night of self-pity and Chinese food takeout is interrupted by a ringing telephone - a wrong number. On a normal night, that would be the end of it. But amid the beginnings of an awkward, halting conversation, the young caller inadvertently lets slip a secret.

He's planning to commit suicide.

Tonight. At midnight.

The stumbling seesaw discussion that follows leads both young men - one we see and one we only hear over the telephone line - from Three's Company and Top Gun to nuclear war, from first kisses, loves lost, and bedroom politics, to the hidden wisdom of Ms. Pac-Man.

Contains mature themes and language that may not be suitable for children.

Tickets: $20 plus Service Fee
