Who would you be, if something happened to you, but no one saw?

Jonathan Stetson’s life has not turned out the way he intended. Just shy of forty, his limited theatre work in the West End has dried up, and he finds himself lost and alone, drowning in a haze of addiction and self-loathing.

In an attempt to get his life and career back on track, he reaches out to his estranged older brother Michael for help. As secrets from the past resurface, and his advances are met with resistance, Jonathan spirals further into his twisted perception of reality, as he struggles to come to terms with a world that continues to reject him…

You’re Still You

Don’t be too nice,
that’s what they’re saying,
but if you can’t win that way
what’s the point in playing?

When I don’t feel good
I don’t go outside
I can’t lie or make excuses
I’m toxic when I try

they say what you focus on expands
so every time you smile, you nod,
or shake hands
you’re spreading something good
something true
like calling your mother
out of the blue

these strangers all over
are versions of me
so if I please them
don’t they please me?

Yes, yes
that’s the way to do it
make them smile, fill them with glee
No
I won’t listen
I can’t weaponize my kindness
you can’t touch it
it’s free

don’t be a coward
don’t be a phony
and don’t be a fake
but ask yourself
how can I actually relate?

happiness is real
but only when it’s shared
these lonely, lonely years
made me colder and unprepared

you’ll find your way back
back to the center
you’re still you my friend
don’t you remember?

Restless Wonder

you don’t know where to go
but you want to try
be not afraid
for this is living
it’s what keeps you alive

so sleep now, sleep well
with faith
in your mind’s eye
the path will appear
the good answer
takes time
