Saved on the Radio - a full-length play

Saved on the Radio is the story of a family that will never understand itself.
The father, Andy, is an alcoholic and self-defeated failure in no particular order. Grace, the mother is an enabler and a lost soul who has only the strength to look life in the eye and take it on the nose but never, ever fight back. David is their son who, drifting aimlessly through life, finds comfort in the influence of radio preacher Brother Benjamin Abaddon.
Abaddon preys on the lonely and scared and David is his perfect disciple. The young man knows something isn't right about Abaddon but the blind faith in something so fills the emptiness in his life, he doesn't really care. He needs to feel the soul his family is so ill prepared to provide that he eagerly grabs on to even the illusory anchor that is the preacher's ministry.
Andy wants to help his son and save his family from Abaddon and his own self-destructive ways but he is so stifled by his own drowning sense of defeat that he cannot imagine a way out.
Abaddon finds his way into a jail cell, Grace finds herself as her own captain for the first time in her life and David finds himself lost but moving on his own terms.
This is the story of the break up of a family. People who are so stifled inside their own psycological programming that what happens to them is the only possible outcome.
