When almost everything is forgotten, who will be left to mourn? A lone scribe considers the weight of time, a single book survives the flames, and an entire culture fades into the mists of forgetfulness.
This theatrical, one-man performance considers Beowulf, mourning, and the heart-rending realities of living a mortal life. It was first performed by me at the Centre for Contemporary Art in Glasgow, UK on January 17 & 18, 2024 as a part of the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland's Emergence Festival.
The Duck Show
Terence the Human wants to kill himself; Terence the Duck would rather he not. Unfortunately, Terence the Human is a human, while Terence the Duck is a duck. Made of putty. Who can't move. What's a duck to do?
A two-hander one-act play (well, one hand and one wing, really) that considers suicide, despair, self-hatred, and duck genitalia.
Pardon the Pitchfork
A Treatise on why eating Forbidden Apples is totally not a Bad Idea and why God is a Jerk.
Inspired by John Milton's Paradise Lost, this three-person one-act play revolves around guilt, temptation, and the dissonance of how we see ourselves and how we really are. A previous version of this play by the same name was performed at the W. D. Powell Theater in Jackson, TN on April 19-22, 2018.
This play was longlisted for the David McLennan Award from
A Play, A Pie, and A Pint in Glasgow, UK.
