A young man, dressed in uniform, awakes in a motel room. With the aide of the television, alarm clock and his digestive tract, he dissects and confronts his past. Set in a motel room. Performed in a motel room.
"Pavelchik's daring choice to move from de-constructed
to constructed springboarding from the now well-entrenched methods of "postmodern" playwriting to
create a distinctly contemporary, epically hopeful piece
is a refreshing step forward for all us who are tired
of watching modern playwrights compete
for the title of 'most randomly and pointlessly fucked
up'."
- Jonothon Morgan AUSTINIST
"Werzner's comfort and credibility in shifting between
complacency and outrage rendered his a must-see performance."
- Tommy O'Malley THE
AUSTIN AMERICAN STATESMAN
"Werzner is an engaging actor with a free and open instrument,
and Pavelchik's script allows him to visit places of which many
actors only dream."
- Barry Pineo AUSTIN CHRONICLE

"Look, I've committed a crime…
I don't know how, I don't know how I happened this way,
I’m not a unified organism anymore. I'm dissolving into parts.
I need to go back and look at the evidence, how things got separated.
I’m gonna try and separate them further,
He separates the items on the desk into fours. The tequila in one corner, the snickers, the loaf of white bread and the water in their own corners.
see if I can put myself back together, coordinate myself.
He draws a neck and head growing off the coastal border of California
I only brought what I think I need to try this… "
