About the Plays
There Ain't No Wyoming
This is a play about going home which is set against the backdrop of the past, the history of the Civil Rights Riots in Cambridge on the Eastern Shore of Maryland in the mid-60s, and the whipping of a white boy by a black activist.
Naked House Painting Society
Two couples meet at a beautiful old house up island on Martha's Vineyard ten years after they painted it together and switched partners and left to pursue different lives. This is the story of sex between star-crossed lovers, a husband who will risk everything in an effort to win back the love of his wife and about a woman imprisoned by the residue of love that will not die.
Slavery
Ownership is the issue as two associates draft a patent for the "creation cell" during a night at a huge law firm while they wait for the announcement, the next morning, of which of them will be made partner, and during the course of their all-nighter they discover that before the Civil War one of their families owned the other.
Witchcraft
How do you prepare for perjury... or how not to "refresh a recollection" in a "repressed memory case." A lawyer representing a psychiatrist does a reenactment of a shooting which took place in his office in order to prepare two witnesses who will testify either for or against his client depending on what they remember.
