Rocky marriage. Old grudge. No job.
What's a guy to do?

Eight months unemployed, a marriage on the rocks, and the family home facing foreclosure. Danny Sullivan's last best hope may be a dinner invitation that could lead to a job. But when a morning obituary resurrects a forty-year-old grudge and a long-buried act of cruelty, Danny finds himself facing a choice between saving his family's future and making peace with his past.

SACKED is a sharply funny, ultimately poignant one-act play about marriage, pride, guilt, and the price of doing the right thing—even when everything else is going wrong.​
