"APRIL'S QUALIA"
(20 minutes)
Directed and written by Rodney Sappington
Starring Varushka Franceschi and Courtneyanne Doody
A one act performance/dialogue between a brain, a person and her doctor who try to decide if the mind can survive April's body, or her body survive the questions her mind puts to it at this moment when she's confronted with her own "portrait" (an MRI) of a brain that suffers from irreparable lesion. Mind, body, doctor and patient do not stop their heated debate. It's a war of words over the source of disease and the role of sickness. What's really going on in April's head tonight?
