Life goes on, even - as in Bailing Out - in a hospice ward for the terminally ill.
In the play, Reginald Niebold, stricken with cancer, holds a secret that his symptoms have deteriorated, and he knows his time is almost up. Niebold, however, is determined to wring the last moments of joy out of life, and his irrepressible spirit will awaken even jaded Nurse Lauder, who has worked on the ward too long to care anymore.

Bailing Out premiered in July of 2010 in Bethesda, Maryland at the Cedar Lane Stage. The photo is from the Friends Always Creating Theatre staged reading of "Bailing Out" in New York, February 2011. (L.to.R: Betty Hudson, Bob Connelly, Laura Lane, Andree Lambertson)

If you're interested in this one, I'd suggest reading the free monologue from this play. It's from the moment where Niebold refuses to take his meds - and explains exactly why. It's called "The Boat Sinks", and it's available for free here!
