A Matter of Worth may aptly be called a ‘now’ play using dialogue, poetry, quotes and proverbs unified by a singular theme for exploration. All the action takes place on one day. Anyone who has faced trials in their life can attest, when much hangs in the balance,

a day can seem like an eternity.

 

A Matter of Worth gives memory to all those who labored unsung, honors the anonymous ancestors, and insists their lives had intrinsic value. Gone but not forgotten.
