Synopsis: | Downtown is roiling with civil unrest or a terrorist attack and due to the media blackout, SILVIE, TODD, and MIKE, don't know which. At Silvie's urging the well meaning young filmmakers take it upon themselves to be the documentarians of the big event that is unfolding underneath their fire escape. Over stale pizza and beer they form their grand cinematic scenario to be but Todd and Mike clearly have different visions of their movie as you can see by the video projections that pop up intermittently throughout the play. They ignore Silvie yet vie for her affections while she tries to convince them that she is worthy of being an equal partner in the project and before you can say "action" they end up in BUCK'S office. Buck is a high priced entertainment lawyer who besides seducing Silvie, has ideas of his own on how to make a cutting edge, society-changing documentary. The Big Deal is about how the actions born from the ego and not from the heart have explosive results and beware of whom you make a deal with. Oh, and of course, love. | |||||

Synopsis: | Now in its tenth year, TheDrillingCompaNY is well known for its collections of new plays around common themes. The theme this year is FREEDOM. "We chose it because of all of the attention our FREE market economy has gotten lately and because we're still fighting wars for the same cause," says artistic director Hamilton Clancy. "Franklin Roosevelt outlined four freedoms America was responsible for defending-that was the kick-off point for playwrights." With grants from the New York State Council on the Arts and Lower Manhattan Cultural Council, TheDrillingCompaNY commissions writers to write around the chosen theme. The directors of this year's plays are: Hamilton Clancy, Robert A. Wilson, Tom Demenkoff, Jude Domski, David Marantz, Richard Mover, and Rebecca Hengstenberg. | |||||
