"Journey of the Heart"
(formerly titled "A Heart of Flesh")
The new, triple-prize-winning play by
Angelo Parra
A brash newspaper man and a young African-American mother find themselves attracted
as a hospital committee wages a see-saw battle
to decide who gets a heart for transplant --
her 12-year-old daughter or
an aging, internationally known entertainment celebrity!
"A beat-the-clock drama ...
Parra brings a formidable degree of subtlety and skill to the committee table."
Los Angeles Times
"In the style of '12 Angry Men' ... emotions bounce across the rosewood veneer."
LA Weekly
"This taut medical drama packs a considerable wallop . . .
a compelling story well crafted."
Pasadena Star-News
"A striking play script . . .
"The emotional ups and downs . . . as much action as anyone could possibly want."
Sierra Madre News
"A fascinating play dealing with important issues that are painful but illuminating."
Back Stage West
"Gripping and intense.
Definitely one of the most intelligent pieces to come out this year.
A can't-miss play with a great heart and a triumphant soul."
