SERVICES RENDERED
A One-Act Drama by
George Cameron Grant.
The moment he said yes…the Devil won.
Two hundred thousand dollars.
For Tommy Lynch, a survivor of childhood sexual abuse by a priest, the settlement represents an opportunity to put the past behind him and begin a new life.
For his wife, Erin, it represents something else entirely: the price of silence.
Outside a lawyer's office, a bitter confrontation unfolds over the meaning of justice, the cost of survival, and the terrible consequences of accepting money for wounds that may never heal.
But appearances are deceiving.
As the encounter progresses, a disturbing truth emerges, revealing a man trapped in an endless attempt to rewrite the moment that destroyed his marriage.
SERVICES RENDERED is a tightly constructed, psychologically charged one-act drama about institutional betrayal, moral compromise, unresolved trauma, and the devastating inability to let go.
