Notes: | "Irrational Dreams" consists of thirty-three scenes; it is meant to be performed episodically, rather than all at once. A theatre company / producer would need a flexible cast of at least twenty to mount a production, with some actors doubling or tripling roles. This play (the first seven scenes) was produced in workshop form by the Rising Sun Performance Company, a NYC-based theatrical troupe. There is a free sample scene of this play available for downloading on lulu.com . | |||||
Synopsis: | "Irrational Dreams", is a seriocomic 'soap opera' script about the film industry in LA. The conceit of this work is that it uses the same plot devices of the 'traditional' soap opera - adultery, blackmail, turbulent careers, budding romance, etc. - only for comedic / satirical affect, rather than the antiseptic drama of the TV soap | |||||
