The Thyme of the Season
or
A Mid-Autumn Night's Dream
A sequel to William Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream, conceived with Clara Barton Green. When Titania and Oberon need to pay their 7-yearly tithe to hell, they need to find a human soul to sacrifice. Puck's been ensorcelled by a witch so that he can't sleep, and there's a new Autumn fairy, Pumpkinseed, who is in love with him. Meanwhile, Helena is pregnant, Demetrius thinks she's cheating, Lysander is exploring his feminine side, and Hermia is unsatisfied. Bottom has become a huge famous rich ass. Everyone goes into the forest, but will they all come back out?
The Starship Astrov
A Chekhovian Space Comedy
A play written in the style of Anton Chekov, set on a Starship in the year 3047. A diplomatic mission brings a professor and his lovely alien wife and faithful doctor aboard the Starship Astrov, where unspoken love and misunderstandings abound between the ship's crew and the guests. As times adapt, will the future change us, or will humanity stay the same at heart?
Pleased as Man with Man to Dwell
or
The Third Shepherds' Play
A Gay Nativity Play
Two shepherds, Asher and Nicodemus, are lying together, while keeping watch over their flock by night. When an Angel suddenly appears before them, telling them of a new Savior, will it mean a new life for the couple?
The Empress of Sex
An Erotic Romantic Comedy
A woman, spurned in love, finds a deserted island and sets herself up as The Empress Salacia, decreeing that there shall be no love allowed in her domain, only sex. She gathers some sybaritic acolytes, and all is well until Salacia's ex-lover Agis comes to the island in disguise, to attempt to win her back.
Semi-Finalist, About Face Theatre's 2010 XYZ Festival of New Work:
"The Empress of Sex was so exciting in its boldness, scope, bravery, and hilarity. It was very interesting to experience a world that disassociates love from its ‘former partner’ sex and dares to fully examine what that entails for the specific characters that were created. A truly enjoyable theatrical experience."
The Tragedy of Dandelion
A five-act verse play
The Princess Dandelion dresses as a boy in order to escape her rapist and would-be husband, along the way falling in love with another princess, and traveling through her society, meeting nuns, soldiers, and clowns. Written entirely in iambic pentameter.
