Sean Abley’s Absence Makes the Heart… is an engaging one-act that leaves the viewer on the edge of their seat. At first glance a monolgue play, in reality it is a play in which every scene reveals just little bit more about the life and death of a young dancer named Karen. Every emotional revelation puts a piece of the puzzle together, yet at the end of the play the audience realizes that ultimately no one knows for certain what is happening in the mind of another. Riveting, deftly written, and worth reading and producing.
