Time Alone

Alessandro Camon's two-hander transpires in overlapping monologues between Anna Jackson, a traumatized shut-in whose police officer son was killed in the line of duty, and Gabriel Wayland, a prison inmate in solitary confinement. The characters-both sympathetic, both impassioned-hold forth about their radically different views on the nature of time, regret and the criminal justice system. Gabriel speaks from his cell, Anna from the prison-like home. "…His drama comes full circle in a beautifully realized denouement that emphasizes not only our human need for connection, but our innate and sometimes surprising capacity for forgiveness." F Kathleen Foley, Los Angeles Times "I was riveted…sharp writing and observations… In their haunted isolation, for all their differences, victim and perpetrator both experience time as a tool of torture. And then, in a twist I can't give away, they discover a connection that carries with it a hint of redemption." Steve Lopez, Los Angeles Times Stunning… Poetic writing… An inspired two-hander that casts a jaundiced eye on the criminal justice and prison systems… Camon employs the same grim nuance that was so successful in his Oscar-nominated screenplay for The Messenger… His familiarity with the subject brings immediacy as well as emotional and psychological veracity to his writing."
