Cornered
A one-act drama

Can love between two people survive when one of them is struck with debilitating disease? Fencing was once Laura's passion, but now that she has multiple sclerosis, the only matches she can win are the verbal battles with her husband. The illness leads her to a decision about marriage that might seem strange to someone not in her position.

The Baltimore Sun says, "What's most intriguing about Cornered is the way it defies preconceptions...Love, like life, can thrust and parry in unexpected directions. And victory isn't always a joyous affair." Cornered won First Prize in the 2005 Baltimore Playwrights Festival. It premiered at Spotlighters Theater and has since been produced in Los Angeles and Silver Spring, MD
