Two Short Plays Maria Teresa H De Holcomb

In Shopping for a Disease, John believes that he's physically ill; however, no doctor can diagnose an illness. Are they wrong, or is he a hypochondriac? How can he have such a strong desire to live, but still be convinced that he's dying? In Marcello and Sophia, Joel appears to be a sensible older man. He's retired and enjoys watching Italian films. Everything appears normal until he becomes convinced his housekeeper is Sophia Loren. Joel's impostor syndrome delusion creates confusion and headaches for his friends and family. Playwright Maria Teresa H. de Holcomb explores two unique stories showcasing mental illness in these individuals.
