Emotional Baggage
by Lindsay Price Canadian Author
This is the most unique play we sell. It's based solely on action and has no dialogue. Suitable for performance and in-class work, the play focuses on non-verbal storytelling through mask and movement.
Seven strangers meet in a train station. Instead of luggage, they all carry their "emotional baggage."
They must confront themselves and one another. Everybody carries emotional baggage with them. What's yours?
