"Playing with Plays"
The purpose of a play is to be worked on by a group of folks. Each person engages the play from a distinct perspective.
Les Marcott
"Unforgettable Lines from Unforgettable Songs"
When an intellectual argument won't suffice
and an emotional connection is needed
song lyrics work quite nicely.
Claudine Jones
"Sick of It"
My sainted mother said 'don't take it so
seriously' but every rehearsal was the same torture.
Isn't torture supposed to be illegal?
Martin Challis
"A Man of Style & Grace"
There was never a hint of status-play or ego.
I remember feeling included and inspired by him on very occasion we played.

"Lady in Black"
Lady in Black, is not a writer's fantasy, but a weaver's dream. All words woven into the tapestry of life with colors dark and throbbing. Farzana Moon weaves a story based on the myth that when a serpent gets to be one hundred year old, it can transform itself into human form. The protagonist is believed to be this serpent, though she is a living, breathing goddess of beauty and wisdom. Wedded three times and widowed as many times, she meets the god of her love in the fourth one. Immolating her life in the end, instead of becoming the cause of her husband's death. The lush green valley of Khanaspur is the breathtaking setting against the clouds of warfare, witnessing the pangs of birth to deliver India and Pakistan into the world of Independence. It is a beautiful and sometimes terrifying story.
