Originally commissioned and produced by New York’s prestigious Primary Stages Company as a response to the events of 9/11, “Rituals” is the heart-wrenching tale of Dave and Janie, an upwardly-mobile couple whose lives have been shattered by the death of their young son. Dave brings Pat, his therapist, to their high-rise condo – hoping that Pat can help put a stop to Janie’s compulsive rituals, which Dave fears are causing her to retreat from reality. What begins as an intervention quickly escalates into a heated confrontation … and Dave realizes that rituals may actually represent a valid way to survive in the aftermath of a terrible tragedy. Published in, 5 Easy Pieces.
