This darkly humorous one-character drama tells the story of Cal, played by Sean A. Cote, a heroin addict who's spending 30 days in a state-run rehab facililty. Written by Somerville's own John Shea (Comp, The Hill, The Painter), the play follows Cal's recollection of key events in his life that led to his drug abuse, including an experience from his childhood in which he encounters a girl with a disability, and also deals with his struggle for sobriety over the course of the month-long program. This inaugural show from Argos Productions is directed by Brett Marks.
