Breath of Life AnOperainTwoActsMusicbyJ.ToddFrazier
LibrettobyMichaelRemson
For10solovoicesandpiano(optionalseparatechorus)
WritteninHonorofDr.O.H.FrazierandDedicatedtotheMemoryofRuthPopper,Rev.BobBrowne,ClaudeDuthuitandJamesBowers.
SupportprovidedbythePowellandMcNairFoundationsofHouston,TXandTheCityofHoustonthroughtheHoustonArtsAlliance.
Setting: A Hospital, Houston, TX, 1982. The Set: In the center of the stage is the Operating Room. There is appropriate machinery, including a bypass machine, heart monitor, defibrillator and intravenous stand/bag, all surrounding a gurney. Directly above the O.R. and further upstage on a raised platform with several chairs is the Observation Deck. Cast members in the Observation Deck should be able to easily see into the O.R., be seen by cast members from the O.R., and be seen by the audience. Upstage right is the Hospital Chapel. A large cross, not depicting the crucifixion, is seen suspended. Beneath and behind it, a prie dieu for kneeling in prayer (facing the audience) can be seen. Further upstage, chairs and/or a pew. While it is not as sterile as the rest of the surroundings, the Chapel should be utilitarian, nothing more. Upstage left is the Patient’s Room and a small adjoining Vestibule (located between the O.R. and Patient’s Room with a chair or bench). The Patient's Room is white, if possible, and includes a hospital style bed, a table next to it and a chair for visitors. The room should also include machinery for monitoring the progress of the Patient, including an intravenous stand/bag and heart monitor. The entire set should represent a clinical detachment from the emotional events that take place within it. The area furthest downstage, in front of the set and spanning the width of the set is where the Act II “Dream Scene” occurs, and should remain clear and free of obstruction, aside from a chair or bench that may be brought in between acts for the Donor and Patient to integrate into their scene.

Lights fade up. The action is fluid. It is important that while one set of characters may be singing and maintaining the focus of the audience’s attention that the action not stop among the remaining performers. Initially, the stage is filled with activity. In the Operating Room the Nurses and Orderly are setting up needed materials, stacking and sorting neatly. In the Patient’s Room, the Patient is visible. He is in bed and connected to an IV and heart monitor. In the Chapel, we find the Donor’s Mother sitting in one of the chairs, alternately with her head buried in her hands and praying.

Doctor: (about to enter the OR, he sees the Priest, who is making his way to the Chapel, and stops him) Father... have you spoken to the family yet?
Priest: (startled and a little nervous) Yes, but only breifly... her Mother is praying in the Chapel.
Doctor: Secure the Donor as soon as possible... it's the only way we can keep our Patient alive.
Priest: I will do my best.
Doctor: Thank you Father (Doctor enters OR and Priest continues toward the Chapel. Priest waits outside the entrance until the Mother's prayer is ended. He references and marks pages in his Bible while waiting. The Doctor begins surveying the OR and anxiously running through a mental checklist, to himself) Anesthesia... Heart monitor... O.K... This bypass machine should be checked... (To Nurse 2, who is in the OR checking on supplies) Nurse?
Nurse 2: Yes Doctor?
Doctor: Make sure this machine is thoroughly tested. Call a technician please.
Nurse 2: Yes, Doctor. (She continues what she is doing)
Doctor: (Noticing her lack of response) Nurse?
Nurse 2: Yes?
Doctor: (raising his voice) Do it Now! (Nurse 2 leaves her job unfinished, at the same time Nurse 1 and Orderly enter the Patient’s Room. They prepare to draw blood.)
Patient: Not again! I don’t have any veins left!
Nurse 1: (Humoring him) Of course you do. Now, hold still...
Patient: (Frustrated and irritable) All this poking and prodding!
Nurse 1: (in the process of drawing blood) Just another moment. Patient: All this fuss... For a dying man!
Nurse 1: (Humoring him) You’re not dying.
Patient: (Pointing to the machines) I’m (not?)
The focus now shifts to the Chapel. The Donor’s Mother is kneeling on the prie-dieu. She takes her head away from her hands, crosses herself and prays. As the Mother continues to pray, the action in other spaces continues.
(Still at her work, sweetly, but not looking up)
(She continues to look at him until he resigns, she then goes back to work drawing blood)
Act I
(interrupting and getting her attention by pointing at his monitor)

*Nurse 2: Doctor?
Doctor: (Not looking up) Did you bring the technician I asked for?
Nurse 2: (awkwardly) Doctor?
Doctor: (not looking up) Tell him to test the bypass machine.
Nurse 2: (trying to get his attention)Doctor… Your Resident is here.
Doctor: (Changing tone abruptly, he welcomes her, Nurse 2 leaves)I'm sorry! My mistake! I’m glad you're here.This procedure will be very exciting for you. Have you heard what we’re planning?
Resident: I’ve heard rumors.
Doctor: We have a potential Donor and I'm certain the Priest will get the proper consent very soon...I've been hoping this chance would come.My first Heart transplant...
Resident: Congratulations Doctor... and are you sure about the consent?
Doctor: You have to think positive. The Priest should be securing the Heart as we speak...We did all we could for the Donor. And for the Patient...This is his only hope...
Resident: (unsure) I see...
Doctor: I'm lucky you were on call!Your superiors speak very highly of you…
Resident: (initially more excited) You honor me Doctor… But… I must tell you,I never thought I would be involved in this kind of procedure, it's so rare, its not even considered it in Japan.
Doctor: Really... I can't imagine why?...Don't be concerned…You come highly recommended… (changing the subject) Can I ask you something?
Resident: Of course…
Doctor: I've asked the Patient's Wife to come to the hospital. They’re separated, but she is next of kin, and I don't think he ever told her how sick he was... I'm not so good with the families, and she's bound to be over-emotional...
As the Doctor continues to check the machinery in the Operating Room, Nurse 2, who he just sent out, re-enters with the Resident

The Doctor exits backstage and the Resident is alone in the Operating Room where she reviews various charts/x-rays and awaits the Doctors return. The focus shifts to the Chapel/Donor's Mother. The Priest is waiting outside the Chapel. When the Mother's prayer is concluded, the Priest enters.
(The Priest then slowley approaches the mother)
Resident: (eagerly) I'm happy to take care of her.
Doctor: (grateful) Thank you... (then, remembering) I should check on our Donor now...Make sure you review all the charts...

(Nurse 2 continues her work, eventually, and reluctantly, the Patient takes his pill)
(At the same time the Doctor re-enters the Operating Room, c. m 109)
**Doctor: (to the Resident) We’re not quite ready yet.Let's take this opportunity to review the proceedure. (begins a review of special equipment)
Resident: (attentive at first, but then with concern)But, Doctor?…
Doctor: (not hearing her)We have a lot of workAhead of us!
... at the same time, Nurse 2 enters the Patient’s Room (focus on both areas). The Doctor tries to signal the Priest a few times before he catches his attention.
(shooing the Doctor away and in a hushed voice)
(responding to the Nurse - he has something to say first)
(Nurse 2 prepares the pill tray)
(The Doctor ushers the Resident around the room, showing her various diagrams and equipment. She pays attention dutifully. After a few moments the Doctor exits. The Resident remains and continues her preparation.) (The focus shifts back to the Patient’s room.)

Nurse 2: (approaching, more serious) You need a new Heart...
Patient: (pause, considering) But why me?
Nurse 2: (lighter, almost reciting) We don't really know why... genes, lifestyle... stress... a virus or even a traumatic event…
Patient: (Trying to joke with her) Hm, how do you know me so well?
Nurse 2: (wanting to go deeper but then cautious) I’m sorry... I didn't mean to be so personal. (she begins to leave)
Patient: (wanting to talk more) No... stay... (she stays, then, after a beat) Whose is it?
Nurse 2: Who?
Patient: (he becomes quiet, searching, reflecting) The Heart... Where did it come from?
Nurse 2: (after a pause, deflecting) These things are kept confidential... Have you asked the Doctor?
Patient: (frustrated) No... He’s too preoccupied... Not much on bedside manner, is he? (pause, then pleading) Please... I'm entitled to know something.
Nurse 2: (reluctant, but feeling for the Patient) I only know it's a Girl… a young Girl…
Patient: (after a pause, reacting deeply, what's happening to him has now touched on something deeper) A Girl?
Nurse 2: (Sensing that she has crossed the line) That's all I know... and all you need to (know.)
(Nurse 2 leaves quickly, but remains in the Vestibule and listens, as she is now concerned about the Patient's emotional state.)
Patient: (still swallowing) This stuff tastes awful.
(Focus shifts to include the Chapel, where the Priest and Mother are still together, but action continues in Patient room and vestibule)
(know.)
Nurse #2: (still sing-songy) But it’s so good for your insides. Patient: Wait… (She stops) Please...
(Degradingly, Nurse 2 pats him on the head and begins to exit.)

The Patient calms down. Nurse 2 watches him for a moment. Convinced he has calmed himself and is through arguing, Nurse 2 leaves. The scene shifts back to the Chapel, where the Priest has kept the Mother from leaving.

Priest: The time to decide
(after learning more about the Mother and Donor, the Priest finds himself more emotionally involved, these emotions begin to superceede the "direct approach" charge from the Doctor to one of a more personal tone.)
(retreating into her own world again...)
(Priest:) is here.... how can I help you?

Priest: I'm sorry. Iwant to help you... but it’s not my decision to make.
Mother: (Pause) Who madeit mine, Father? (resume music)
Mother: Who made it mine?

(The appearance of his Wife surprises the Patient. Stunned into silence for a moment, he is unsure as to what to do or say. He stares at her.)

Patient: What good does that do…
Nurse 1: We have to know how you're doing…

Doctor: (caught up in his own world)So many details...So many things to attend to...(addressing the Resident)It's part of your training.You have to assist.
(Resident considers this)
Resident: (awkwardly, fearful of subordination) ...I will try… As far as I'm able…
Doctor: (to Resident)You will help me, wont you?(the Orderly enters
the Operating Room, breaking an uncomforatable silence between the Doctor and Resident)
Orderly:Doctor, you’re needed in the lab.
Resident: (calming and trying to make up for challenging him)I will do my best.
(The Resident waits a moment for them to return to their work and for the Doctor to recover from his outburst.)
(The Orderly leads the Doctor out of the Operating Room, they leave stage, at the same time...

Doctor: (thinking he is talking about the proceedure) This is a straight forward medical procedure.
Patient: (entreating) No... I need to know more about this Girl.
Doctor: (glancing at Nurse 2, then awkwardly after a pause) Well,.. she was in a tragic car accident... A young Girl from Paris, Texas. Her Mother is here with the Priest... and her Heart will be ready for us soon.
Patient: (groggy and emotional, the Doctors response heightens his thoughts of his Daughter, his last words before the proceedure)Doctor,.. not again,.. I can't be part of this again... let me... join my (Daughter...)
Doctor: (puzzled by Patients statements about his Daughter) It's natural for you to be scared (then to Nurse 2, who is taken by his statement) He's just delirious... lets move on...
(Patient, repeating his last few lines "I can't be part of this again... let me... join my daughter", less understandable and softer each phrase, falls asleep and is wheeled into the O.R. by Nurse 2. The scene shifts back to the Chapel, where the Mother is alone, praying. The Priest enters and slowly approaches her)

(The Resident steps out of the O.R. action further downstage. Nurses, Orderly, and Patient (asleep, being centered and prepared under O.R. lights) are in O.R. The Priest (holding photo) leaves the Chapel to find the Doctor as the Doctor makes his way toward the Chapel where they meet in-between (c. mm 773-774). Mother remains in the Chapel after mm 768 and Priest stays outside Chapel door after mm 775.
*Priest: ...She's agreed
Doctor: (overlapping with Resident)Well, Father?
Doctor: Thank you Father! I knew I could count on you. Thank you. (begins walking to O.R...
*(Per Director, Priest may look at photo after giving Doctor the answer / Priest may try to show photo to Doctor - Doctor ignores, eager to get back to the O.R?)

(The lights dim on the Priest, Resident and Mother. They leave the stage. For a moment the stage is bathed in a low light. The Patient's Wife enters, makes her way to the Patient's Room and discovers he is not there. Frantically, she makes her way to the Observation Deck. She looks down into the Operating Room and sees her husband lying on the table in dim sterile light. She is shocked. Lights in the Observation Deck and O.R. dim.)

Low lights come up in the Operating Room. The Patient (a representation, whose head is stage left) is surrounded by the Doctor, Resident, Nurse 1 and 2.

The operation is about to begin and final checks of surgical tools, measurements, equipment, sterile gowns (to be worn by Doctor, Resident, and Nurse 1), etc. are being made. In the Observation Deck, the Patient's Wife watches. The Donor's Mother sits alone in the Chapel. The Priest and Orderly are off stage.

Doctor (still more concerned): It's supposed to remember
Nurse 1 (more alarmed): He's dying
Doctor (to Nurse): We'll have to shock the heart... (renewed energy) its the only way... defibrilator!
Resident: (fully in scene now) No, you can't... you must let it remember.
Doctor (Forcefully to Resident): You dont understand, its not going to work on its own this time, we'll have to force the Heart to beat... it's his only chance. (to Nurse 1) Defibrilator!!
Resident (stepping forward) Have faith Doctor, let life have its chance... you've done everything you can do... you even said, "the Heart will remember how to beat"... Believe in that Doctor... believe in that!
(while Resident pleads, Nurse 1 approcahes Doctor with the defibrilator paddles)
Doctor (alarmed and weakening again, to Resident): But he's dying... (to himself) where did I fail?!
(the Doctor takes the defibrilator paddles and moves toward the Patient, Resident, watching in disbelief, then pleading with the Doctor, frantic, and forcing herself toward him)
Resident: Please... have faith!...
(Patient emerging downstage left between "believe in that!" and "But he's dying...)
(OR starts to fade to back, lights slowly fading, Donor "Dream Scene" lights emerge in front walkway)
When dialogue stops, time stands still in OR (optional: depicted by the hands of a large clock, positioned visibly in the OR, and keeping time up to this point, stopping), lights further dim, and all characters are frozen on stage.
Beginning at mm 1108, and overlapping with dialogue, a gauzy light begins to permeate the front downstage area (optional: foreshadowed by the same light/effect used when the Donor Heart is exposed in mm. 939-944 and Patient's Heart is removed in mm. 976-981). This light has a focal point that comes from offstage downstage right, i.e. it is stronger at that end. It pulls people toward it in its intensity and beauty. After a moment, the Patient emerges downstage left between "believe in that!" and "But he's dying... (c. 1110). At first he seems confused, unsure of where he is. He looks around and sees nothing. For several moments, he seems to be waiting or wanting something to happen...

**Donor: O my God!.. Am I?... I'm... (the emotions of what she is realizing and what is happening to her are too much for her to understand) NO!!! (she begins to panic) (directed to her Mother in the Chapel) Mother! Talk to me! I'm right here with you, I hear you... I'm still with you... We have to go! It's time to go... I'm ready... (she cries and goes to her knees) I'm... right... here
(the Patient stands and watches her, it is an awkward moment for him, he doesn't know what to do. After a few beats, the Donor begins to recover)
Donor: (looking at Patient, who is frozen) Dont you care?
Patient: of course I do...
Donor: ...I miss my Father...he would have comforted me.
Patient: ...I'm sorry
Donor (considering him) You don't Love much, do you?
Patient: (pause)No... Not for a long time...
Donor: (she considers the situation) Is it going to work... for you, my Heart?
Patient: I'm starting to think it might not.
Donor: Why not?
Patient: I'm here with you (pause)
Donor: ...but are you sure?
Patient: Well... no.
Donor: So it's possible?
Patient: I'm sick... The doctors said it was my only hope... I didnt ask for it...
Patient: (comforting, not convinced, but trying to make her feel better) You are a dreamer, but you may be right?... being here, now... I guess anything is be possible...
(suddenly the Donor has an impulse... She sits up, slowly at first, -music starts, m. 1264- then rushes over to the Patient)

...Doctor takes the paddles, he approaches the Patient, he is visibly spent, fixed on the Patient he raises the paddles nervously... the flatline is accentuated on monitor... then, suddenly, he hesitates (is he pulling back? is he giving life a last chance?), all eyes fixed on him and his eyes fixed on the Heart... (pause) a pulse... paddles still in the air, he looks at the Resident, then up to the Observation Deck, then back at the Heart, he is stunned, he slowly lowers the paddles to his side... The monitors come back to life...

Resident (suprised): Me?.. but...
(the Doctor slowly leaves the Operating Room, takes off his sterile gown, and begins to make his way toward the Observation Deck (the Resident steps up to lead the team). On his way there, he stops and reflects. He is either in or near the Vestibule...
...The Resident sees that the Heart has resumed beating and steps back, the Doctor puts aside the defibrilator paddles and moves in to assess the Patient. At the same time, in the Observation Deck, the Patient's Wife and Priest take notice of the new surge of activity in the OR. As if sensing that something has been made right, the Resident, at first looks up and sees the Priest and the Wife in the Observation Deck. Seeing them, she moves back to assist the Doctor, At the same time, the Donor slowley fades into the light stage right and the lights fade in the Chapel)
(Donor is out)Doctor (in disbelief): We have a rhythm!!
Nurse 1: Vitals stabalizing!
Doctor: Back to work people! Back to work. (the Orderly and Nurses scurry back to activity)Resident: Thank you Doctor... Thank you.
Doctor: If you would... you know what to do... (pause) besides.., our Patient's Wife could use some good news.
Doctor: I would like to.
Doctor: (working, pause, looking at Resident, considering what has happened, but not showing emotion) Doctor..., you'll close please.
Resident (while Doctor begins to leave): Are you sure you don't want me to do that?
Resident: Are you
Resident: Yes Doctor...

(The end of the Doctor's aria overlaps with the beginning of the Residents aria. As the Doctor finishes, he continues to make his way to the Observation Deck, the Priest begins to make his way to the Chapel to check on the Mother, they passes each other and shake hands. The Doctor stops outside the entryway to the Observation Deck and Priest outside the Chapel at mm 1514. In the meantime, the Resident continues to finalize the proceedure. As she does, she sings to herself and to the Nurses and Orderly around her)

(We see the Doctor enter Observation deck and Priest enter Chapel at mm1518. The Doctor embraces the Patient's Wife, they continue to observe the proceedings in the OR. At the same time, the Priest enters, and focus turns to, the Chapel. He finds the Mother asleep. He offers a comforting touch as he passes. His expression changes to concern as he moves toward the cross, seeking guidance. The Mother, who wakes when she hears the Priest praying, senses the procedure has worked. The Mother and Wife (both standing now) then join Priest, all posing their own innermost questions (during the trio) - not directed to each other, yet part of a communial consience,.. in ensemble to a higher power.)
(Doctor - just outside observation deck and Priest - just outside Chapel)
Priest: (entering, seeing at Mother) Here the whole time... (approaching the cross to pray, standing)
