The Plays |
|
In Boundary Conditions, a lonely Indian housewife is transformed by the TV as tutor, much to the incomprehension of an increasingly irate husband.
In The Gossamer Gyre, actors rehearse an Elizabethan play written in blank verse to find themselves swept off their reality by a Shakespearean tempest. In lyrical and poetic refrain, an anguished soul in short play The Man of Man searches for forgiveness for his sin of primal homicide. In Contract, A salesman unwittingly knocks on the door of an ex-fiance he fails to recognize, then uses every leverage possible to make a sale. In the inextricably bi-lingual tragicomedy Blacky’s Trunk/La malle a Noireau two couples explore their humanity on a timeless beach where a mysterious trunk presents them with the bounties of the universe. The play is designed so as to be understood by a person who knows only one language; versions exist in English-French, English-Spanish, English-Hungarian, and English-Hindi. Mohammed kidnaps Mary in a desert skirmish somewhere in the Middle East. Politics, machinations and personal vendettas come to the fore as the two develop a working relationship of sorts in Mohammed and Mary. |
