In the Wreckage
Matthew Wilson
Two friends, stripped of their ability to relax their muscles, face one another, or use punctuation, struggle to reconstruct why they are trapped in this situation.
In the process, they reenact several possible versions of their relationship's most traumatic (yet only half-remembered) moment.
As the title guarantees, several irrecuperable minutes slip away from the actors, crew, and audience.
