    Never Tell by James Christy   More Info Add to Cart
    Drama
    Full-length, 110-120 minutes
    2 females, 5 males (6-8 actors possible: 2-3 females, 4-5 males)
    $75.00 per performance; $8.99 per book

    Never Tell centers around two enigmatic creations: a controversial video installation that includes documentary-style footage of a rape, and a ground-breaking computer program with vast business potential. The creations tear apart a lifelong friendship between slacker computer programmer Manny and ambitious gallery-owner Will, transforming the lives of those closest to them. Will becomes a media celebrity as a result of the installation, while Manny's computer program is stolen in a surreal corporate power play. In a vivid series of ironically comic and emotionally explosive scenes, Never Tell presents a contemporary story of friendship and betrayal.
