What Happened to Our Friend Mikey?
Sean McGrathTwo years ago, Theo Sedjwick's good friend, Mikey, someone he had known for thirty years, murdered his wife. He bludgeoned her to death with a wine bottle in their shared apartment in Houston. Then he disappeared, or so claimed the headlines; the inescapable, unavoidable headlines. The ones he and his friends - Cam, Charl, and Marquette - tried to comprehend from afar. They couldn't. So they met up, months later, at a bar in Sunnyside, New York - blocks from where they - and Mikey - all grew up. And they told their stories, together, hoping that the collective recollections painted layers over a framework of confusion and disbelief and allowed them to all draw their own conclusions as to what happened to their friend, Mikey.
What Happened to Our Friend Mikey? is a three-act play that fills the pages with hazy around the edges, imperfect by nature, ethereal memories of life-long friends. In listening to their story, we reflect on our own: are we just who we pretend to be, as Vonnegut famously asked? And how well do we really know one another, anyway?
