Dr. Jonah Marr can hold a beating heart in his hands and still can't answer his mother's calls. He can't explain why the steadiest relationship in his life is with a surgical robot that never leaves — until the hospital decides to replace it. Vena Cava is a full-length stage musical about a hospital where everyone is quietly falling apart in their own way, funny before it's sad, and then both at once. This edition includes the complete two-act script, all twenty-one songs, and behind-the-scenes material for staging it yourself.
