BPT Talks: RX MACHINA by Caity-Shea Violette
A conversation with the playwright and director Blair Cadden What the playwright says about her play-in-progress: RX MACHINA unpacks big pharma's impact on everyday American culture and illuminates the search for humanity in a healthcare system that views patients as consumers and pain as profitable. An ambitious pharmaceutical sales representative’s relentless pursuit of a rigidly principled pain management doctor leads to an intoxicating, forbidden relationship that comes with a cost. Ethical boundaries are blurred in a literal manifestation of doctors being in bed with drug reps that forms a love triangle fueled by money, sex, and power. Set in 2015, two years before the federal government would officially recognize it as the Opioid Epidemic, RX MACHINA explores who gets to get better and who gets left behind.
