Purgatorio: A One-Act Play

By Ben Douglass

Set in a sun-scorched Mojave Desert motel in the mid-1990's, Purgatorio follows Ruby, a once-celebrated socialite whose life collapsed after a felony DWI that critically injured an innocent woman. Six years out of prison and stripped of the identity of her former self, Ruby now lives a life of quiet desperation in a threadbare room, surrounded by old photographs she can barely stand to touch. She believes she has forfeited her dignity, her future, and her right to be seen as a person.
