Reaility Check : More exposition on the plot

I thought I would throw out more details of the plot, for those avid followers that won't get to see it.

The story picks up at a point where Johnny Clayton and Miles Cartwright, who have been friends for some time have gotten this reality show together. Johnny has suffered from an accident, revealed to be caused by Miles. Johnny is just an animated severed head (portrayed by an actor).

Miles has also had a rough time, his wife was killed a couple of years earlier, and that sent him on a round of self abuse which is ultimately what caused him to be so incapacitated as to have caused Johnny's accident.

Johnny, Miles and the Bailiff beauties get the show going and select three contestants. Two of those are eliminated and Everett Mann is selected to be the prime suspect on Reality Check. A show that could win him ten million dollars.

To get that ten million dollars, Everett has to run through the rat maze of the court system, and face the tough and sexy Emma Melody. With the aid of his drunken and narcoleptic defense attorney, Everett attempts to win, but it just seems like all of the cards are stacked against him.

The trial turns serious and Everett realizes that the stakes are raised at every turn, and finally, some how he is on trial for his very life, and he isn't sure if he has a winning team.

Reality Check is a play that was mutually conceived by John and Tracy Medberry. The play has been produced as part of the Frontera Fest 2009 sequence in the Long Fringe.
