Opis

A collection of 8 plays written between 2008 and 2014 which range from "The shortest play ever written" (2 actors discuss an 8-word plot); to an intense blank-verse rendition of the classic story of Abelard and Heloise (a monologue for a female actor). The true story of Jack Johnson is portrayed in "The Mann Act" which lays out what many believe was the FBI's illegal persecution of the world champion black boxer. A new twist on the classic plot of "Antigone" is presented in "Kreon" the Theban king who behaves in ways similar to some modern statesmen and in "The pleasure of pain" insight into the issues of masochism and love are explored.
