Just a reminder, you can find three of my plays available in digital editions on Indie Theater Now. Each play offers excerpts, a sample review, character breakdown, and notes on the original cast production.
The Most Wonderful Love (which got a pretty great New York Times review in 2006, here).
When Mother and Father celebrate their long and happy marriage with an
unprecedented ceremonial unwedding, their friends and relations gather
from all over to feast on the spoils; get ready for this sprawling
satire on contemporary marriage and American fundamentalism.
The Great Escape (one of my favorites)
Things have changed since Henry last visited Mom; for starters, the
décor is decidedly kitschier, and his sister Catherine decidedly
creepier; and Mom has a new husband; and she’s locked herself upstairs.
The Americans
A young man writes a poem, “The Americans,” so beautiful that the walls
of his room rise into the sky and explode, covering New York in wood and
plaster rain; for three young men vaguely nervous about what their
lives are becoming, it is, at least, something different.
