Synopsis: | Patrick McDonough and his beloved, Marion Feingold arrive in Dublin on the run from the US law.

They plan to hang out until things cool off with Patrick's twin cousins, Rory and Deirdre whom he last saw three decades ago when they were all pre-teens. But the Celtic Tiger roams this land now and the cousins have become master scammers in their own right. They've amassed a handsome nest egg via various schemes and the formerly affluent Americans find themselves beholden to the street-wise pair. Marion has strangely morphed into her own definition of Molly Bloom and when Patrick decides to go home and turn state's evidence he must leave her with the dangerously attractive twins. Danger ahead. | |||||

When Danielle recovers her sense of self-worth, she realizes that he rhappiness is completely attreibutable to this tender, life-affirming young man.

Notes: | Completed in 2005 and covering the years from 1949 to the mid-1970s. Ostensibly about baseball but really about race and madness in mid-century America | |||||
Synopsis: | Journeymen is a 90-100 minute play based loosely on the infamous, near-fatal shooting of Philadelphia Phillies first baseman, Eddie Waitkus at the Edgewater Beach Hotel in Chicago in 1949. The crime was committed by a 19-year old woman who had fallen uncontrollably in love with the ballplayer. She served one year in a mental institution but the player never really recovered. The characters have been fictionalized and team names have been fabricated a la Bernard Malamud in The Natural. But while the novelist dispensed with the shooting early-on, it's at the heart of Journeymen. As is the simmering racial conflict in America that is mirrored on the field. | |||||

Notes: | Specifically written for a young company with a diverse composition and limited production budget. Completed in 2008 | |||||
Synopsis: | Timid New World is a series of short, dark comedies about our ominous future. The plays almost always feature young actors and require little in the way of scenery, costumes and props. The entire program runs about 3 hours but a producer/director is encouraged to cherry pick whatever plays meet the company's needs. Examples: Male Order (2w, 1m) about three San Franciscans who subscribe to "Straight Mate", the last hetero dating service in the city, Penitents (1m, 1W) in which a young nun - determined to be the first woman priest - surreptitiously hears confessions until her old lover shows up and Digital Love, a play about two pwople on a date who try to skirt around the nationally-mandated Sexual Disclosure Law. | |||||

Synopsis: | Turn-of-the-century New York's political underworld and immigrant energy come to life in this new play focused on the tumultuous love affair between the legendary political boss "Big Tim" Sullivan and the beautiful actress and reformer Margaret Holland. After years of an adulterous affair that produced a daughter, the notorious Tammany Hall power broker and the Seven Sisters' graduate find themselves inextricably bound by the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire of 1911. Renowned historian Daniel Czitrom and playwright Jack Gilhooley pieced together the compelling story of this unlikely pair fighting to liberate workers from sweatshop labor, which marks the 100th anniversary of the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire. | |||||

Synopsis: | In 2005 Tammy is a veteran of the 1991 Persian Gulf War as well as the 2003-???? debacle in Iraq. After two tours of duty in the latest conflict, she returns to civilian life with an honorable discharge but a diagnosis of PTSD. Tammy insists that she could deal with the combat but can't handle the fact that her husband left her while she was defending the country. What's more, he has abandoned her for her daughter's teacher who gained the affection of the child while her mother was away. Because of Tammy's psychological condition, her spouse has managed to gain custody of their twelve-year-old. Tammy has agreed to appear on-camera for Giselle, a former high school classmate who has become a recognized documentary filmmaker. In a makeshift sound studio, Tammy runs the emotional gamut as she tries to make sense of the war she has just left and the war at home she's determined to fight. | |||||
