About the Playas Out North presents the first Brand Spankin' Drama:
Pivot Point
by Paul Bryner
Nicole, an out-of-work journalist, comes home to find the house empty. Her husband, Phillip, has been taken to the hospital. His condition is dire. Still, Nicole opts to leave the country, abandoning both her husband and her twelve-year-old son in favor of a story that obsesses her, a story in the faraway island nation of Sri Lanka, which is in the midst of an upheaval so great that all foreigners have evacuated the country. The upheaval has been dubbed the “Last Revolution.” As Nicole prepares to sail for Sri Lanka, her son, Chester, and his best friend prepare for a make-believe voyage to an imaginary island and Nicole’s husband is on the operating room table, being sung to sleep in a mysterious preoperative ritual.

“…After that in a more conciliatory spirit he asks Brewster:
‘So, what’s it like in Ceylon?’
A rhetorical question if ever there was one, for as far as Lawrence is concerned he
‘would rather go to Mars or the Moon. But Ceylon if there’s nothing better.’”
