The Drawer Boy by Michael Healey - A stage illusion washes away old lies.
Disabled by memory loss, Angus (George Hansen) gets by with a little help from his bachelor farmer friend, Morgan (Richard Marlatt). When an actor (Christian Stokes) shows up to write a play about farming, they see their lives on the stage. Redemptive and funny, Drawer Boy is a reminder of the healing power of art.

Vino Veritas by David MacGregor - A single sip of truth spices up two marriages.
