Abbey Martin has a dead-end job, a flat-line marriage, her first hot flash, and, at age fifty, has just learned that she's living in a 'post-feminist' world. She also has a 'guardian' if you will in the person of Swapneshwari, the Hindu goddess of dreams. After showing signs of potentially suicidal behavior, we find Abbey a voluntary admit on a psych ward in a suburban Seattle hospital. Her conversations with hospital staff, and the vivid snatches of dreams she has during naps, reveal the sources of her middle-age discontent: the pharmaceutically-fixated medical establishment; her perceived failure of the women's movement; her stable but unfulfilling marriage; her desire for meaningful and rewarding work; and her fears of the economics of making changes. With the assistance of her dream visitors, Simone de Beauvoir, Bernard Shaw and a teenage 'amazing girl,' the Goddess helps to point the way for Abbey's journey back from a life of misdirection and despair. As the clock runs out on her three-day observation period, Abbey makes some daring and surprising choices.

Juliet Capulet invites four other heroines of Shakespeare's classics - Katharina, Portia, Ophelia and Desdemona - to lunch in her favorite garden in Verona to discuss 'issues' they all have with their plots And each of the ladies has suggestions how these issues might be remedied! Shakespeare, therefore, has also been invited But instead, the Bard sends an envoy, his literary agent and editor Jacqueline de Boys, who attempts to save the day with the help of Juliet's Nurse! This lively fifty-minute one-act comedy sparkles with wit and an in-depth understanding of the characters of these indelible ladies, and their effects on playgoers over the centuries A cameo appearance by Shakespeare at the end is optional

The Anchor and the Psychiatrist also play Macbeth and Lady Macbeth. This is a 45 minute, very fast-paced comedy with all characters doubling and good breadth of character for the actors. Great for comedy troupes and other 'fast on their feet' groups.

The entire story of Shakespeare's Macbeth as seen through the view of a 'breaking news' TV anchor Blaine Bland on the 'Curious News Network.' Interspersed with relevant scenes from the play, Bland interviews a guest psychiatrist, political commentators, terrorism analyst, travel correspondent, battlefront correspondents and even the weathergirl for background on the developing story coming out of Scotland.
