Opis

They say if you try hard enough and want it badly enough, you can achieve anything you've ever dreamed of. But what if, despite all intentions, the drive to succeed becomes your greatest downfall?

In "Shadow Enemies," you'll find a series of short plays showcasing well-meaning people as they become victims of their own egos-dealing with the psychological repercussions of the desire to be not only ordinary, but extraordinary.

In "Power Power " you'll see a young man grow into adulthood pressured with the need to succeed and the eventual consequences of the struggle to always be the best.

"Shadow Enemies," is the tale of a smart and capable young woman who earns a supervisor position at a hospital-until an overinflated sense of importance sends her spiraling out of control.

"Repentance" finds a preacher who strives to be morally pure fall victim to his unfulfilled need for perfection.

And "It's a Man's World" explores one woman's love-hate relationship with men after growing up in the 1950s with dreams of becoming a career woman.

Playwright Maria Teresa H. de Holcomb sheds light on these unique struggles in a way that will resonate with readers from all walks of life.
