Toby: A Play (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781955338332)

Toby, first performed in the Radford University Studio Theater in 1990, reveals the internal struggle of a young man literally at the end of his rope. As he is tormented by thoughts of suicide, the existential pressures of his life appear on stage as characters such as his Mom and Dad, a childhood friend, the Counselor who argues his case, a Bully, a "Lost Love", and other individuals who play on Toby's heart wrenching contemplation of life or death.

Authored by Dr. Russell Gregory, Radford University Emeritus Professor of Religious Studies, Toby represents the horrifically acute wrestling of emotions often internalized and not shared by people in crisis.

*Recommended for mature adults due to the nature of the material: suicidal ideation, sexual suggestion, and threat of violence.
