By R.G. Rader Heart-Beat tells a story of love found in one of the most unusual and haunting of places, the space between life and death in a coma. "Two lost souls, trapped in limbo, must discover the true nature of love," says director Chris Mackowski. "For them, love really is a matter of life and death." The play, says author R.G. Rader, "is about finding love, honesty, sincerity, and especially hope in those silent places where we cannot allow others, or don’t want to allow others. These two people, in their comas, find each other in a very real way and ultimately, hopefully, find hope." Much of Rader’s work aims at getting into those silent places. "I like to find ways to get to places where we, as individuals, don’t allow others, or if we do allow others, we need to trust them very much," he explains. "Those spaces exist in the depths of our thought, in memory, in places where we go internally, dealing with our soul and our faith. So, this play is not so much about comas as it is about being in a place where you only allow a few in." |
