Kernel of Sanity

In a small Midwestern city in the late 1970s, a young actor, on his way from New York to California, takes a detour for a surprise visit to a crucial confrontation with a veteran actor – an actor he’s worked with in only one play, but to whom he’s found himself inexorably, if nearly unwittingly, attached. In a taunt, tense 90 minutes, three people – a black man, a white man, and a white woman – clash over their contradictory senses of marginalization and betrayal and their contrasting perceptions of illusion and reality.
