SAVING STAN A Story Of Friendship Comes to Dramatists Guild

When arrogant corporate lawyer Stan Nagel suffers an incapacitating stroke and can't speak, he asks his oldest friend, Jack, a failed writer desperate for money to help him commit suicide. The bond these two friends have goes deep enough that Jack somehow hears the requests of the mute Stan. The friends' pact is discovered by healthcare worker, Patrice Doner. Stan's considerable estate further fuels her suspicions of differing agendas ... not to mention her own.

Playwright Gary Morgenstein serves up a parable of friendship and love in SAVING STAN
