Synopsis: What happens when a pair of deer poachers, down on their luck, are caught red-handed? Do they really think the game warden is going to give them a break? Do they really think they can talk their way out of this? They do in Poaching Deer In Northern Arizona. After all, the warden's a neighbor to one, a childhood friend of the other. And what about the warden? There's a loaded rifle sitting right there on the table. Can't he see that these two are desperate, drunk, and maybe coming unhinged? Can't anyone see that someone could die here? A modern Western, Poaching Deer In Northern Arizona premiered at the Jewel Box Theatre in Hollywood in 2002, then went on to England, where it was called, by Sebastian Pringle, one of its British reviewers, ". . .a triumph& A fine and thought-provoking piece." Perhaps J. Boyer's darkest comedy to date, and certainly the most suspenseful! | ||||

Synopsis: The play is, in effect, the main character's monologue, for material that might otherwise be dramatized comes to us through her narration as she tells us of a party thrown by herself and her husband, and events leading up to it. Carrie and those with whom she is closest are of a generation unable to connect with one another with any ease, and therein lies their problem. Monologues are what they do best. THE EURIPIDEADS is an evening of theatre comprised of two works, Time Went By, But Slowly, a sendup of "Alcestis" by Euripides,and Wollicott's Traveling Rabbit's Foot Minstrels, a sendup of his "Iphigenia In Taurus". The plays can be mounted individually, but they benefit from a mounting in tandem. They then provide an evening's entertainment that means to put the most central presuppositions about the world held by the Ancients in the hands of Generation Xers - among these presuppositions, that order was available in the cosmos, that no matter how capricious the gods might be there is always reason to believe in justice in the world,that salvation at the hands of the gods was always a possibility. | ||||
