Script Synopsis
Middle-aged actor Ethan Wise has one last chance to save his career from an untimely and
unfortunate end, after the loss of his sister in a car accident, from which he was also
involved in. After recovering from the accident, Ethan was informed that he had short termmemory loss. This began to take significant affect, causing him to only recall fragmented
images of his sister whom he can only visualize as a much younger version of her.
Confidence in his musical career has begun to wane and he is still in grief over the passing
of his sister. However, he is receiving support from a psychotherapist to try and overcome
this and is slowly on the way to recovery. But can he recover in time to save his
performance?

Description of Role/s
Ethan: Single middle-aged man, around mid-thirties to early forties, professional actor. Is still
broken about the tragic death of his sister, who died in an accident that he was also a part of.
Harbours responsibility for her death even though he knows it wasnt his fault and continually
sees her as a form of hallucination; an effect of his short term memory loss.
Jean: Younger sister to Ethan before her untimely death. Aged around early twenties.
Cheerful, preppy and very supportive of her brother. Would often refer to Ethan as dude and
help him out with his acting, often trying to calm him down.
Dr. Yates: Stern and formal but empathetic and caring for her patients. Is not afraid to
challenge her them if the need arises. Will try out exercises and methods to get the best out
of her patients so they can recover for the best.
