Synopsis: | A three-act kitchen-sink drama about the Colbys, a typically dysfunctional American family dealing with a rather atypical problem: the dead are coming back to life. However, instead of the flesh-hungry monsters we've always feared, it appears as though these reanimated bodies are part of a seemingly benign (albeit perplexing and inconvenient, to say the least) phenomenon happening around the world . . . until political ambitions and hidden resentments threaten to change everything . . . ANY DAY NOW is a portrait of a country distracted by an hysterical media, a world confronted with unanswerable questions, and a family with buried secrets that have the potential to devour them all. | |||||

Synopsis: | A private detective noir drama inspired by the Dostoevsky novella of the same name, The Eternal Husband concerns a P.I., suffering through a summer heat wave and going through a little bit of an existential crisis, who is visited by the husband of a woman with whom he once carried out a long, passionate affair. The woman, it seems, has just died. The husband seems ignorant of the past relationship. As the detective tries to unravel whether or not the husband knew of his wife's infidelity, another complication arises: a daughter of questionable paternity. | |||||

However, as an ambitious reporter and scientist are about to find out, there are still places in this land that have yet to be put on any map. There are still areas yet to be discovered. And there are still people perhaps best left in the dark . . . | |||||

Synopsis: | As Christopher Marlowe lies bleeding to death from a fatal knife-wound to the face, his life flashes before his eyes (or, rather, eye). His host for this journey is his own personal Mephistopheles, a character about whom he never got the chance to write: the infamous Roman emperor, Caligula. The Reckoning of Kit & Little Boots is a fiery, impassioned, hallucinatory, comedic, and ultimately poignant exploration of the art of writing, of what it is that calls an author to a particular subject, and of the dangers that lie in the obsessions of a creative mind. | |||||
