Synopsis:
No one in the middle of being in love ever sat down to write a love story. It's only after the belongings are sorted and the shirts returned that the pencils are sharpened and the notebooks opened. So, in a serious way, love stories are never love stories. Love is their inspiration, yes, but the end of love is the reason for their existence. This is a problem. It proposes anti-journeys where we saw only journeys, directs things toward a new negative we hadn't intended. 'The Flu Season' tries to be a love story, anyway. It has a strategy. The play revels in ambivalence, lives in fits and starts, and derives a flailing energy from its doubts about itself. But these come at a price, which is paid by the characters in the play. A kind of clarity finally comes. In the end, is the end.

Synopsis:
Kid Blanco concerns, amongst other things, autism, interruption and, in the context of smalltown America, a couple of other large and difficult matters. Borrowing a lot from the Greeks and asking a lot out of language, the play, like life, goes and goes until it stops.

Two people and their two chairs seek to find meaning and direction in life, seek to find just the tiniest shred of certainty, consistency.

Synopsis:
Oh hollow man. He stands on stage, smiling. He's charming, vacant, a reflection of ourselves staring back at us, a teasing smile playing across his lips. Toying with us, appearing to engage and pulling back, reaching out a hand that has no substance. He is simply a memory of person who was once there, of the child he once was. The child is in retreat, damaged and hurt. All that is left is a performance. It is a magic trick, a disappearing act that leaves behind the shell of a human being. A little walking, talking dust. - Lyn Gardner, Guardian

Synopsis:
The sun has set over streets of houses, government buildings and American backyards everywhere. The world is dark. A news team is on the scene. Their report: someone left the lawn sprinklers on; someone's horse is loose; a seashell is lying in the grass; dogs run by. The Governor issues excited statements appealing for calm. It is night-time in the world. Everyone's afraid. Everyone doesn't know if the sun, once down, will ever rise again. But there is a witness, and the witness will speak.
