Time Gentlemen, Please
Time gentlemen, please Introduction – A feminist restructuring of Jim Cartwright’s Two. In this play we explore third-party harassment against women in the 80’s working in a northern pub. In this first scene, we are introduced to all the girls in a shoal movement sequence that is loud and lively like a pub at 8 o’clock on a hot Saturday evening.

The Chocolate Effect
“My mom loves chocolate cake”, usually buttoned up and unaffected, Thomas beamed as he hovered over the cracked glass counter, in the tiniest bakery that Olivia had ever seen. The bakery reminded her of her grandmother’s kitchen, so small and hot, with sweet smells that made the discomfort worth it. Hoards of people, varying genus and taste pallets, swarmed the crowded space. You could almost reach out and write your name in the foggy glasses of the person standing shoulder to shoulder with you, waiting to place their order.

A Brief History of the 20th Century
(LIGHTS UP on a white ramp with an iron railing. The ramp leads up to the entrance of a larger building. It is late afternoon. Two brothers, THE 1970s and THE 1980s, are leaning across it in a casual manner. They are talking. THE 1970s has light brown, slightly messy hair and is in his early twenties. He wears a fitted green shirt and tan brown bell-bottom pants. THE 1980s has black hair and is in his early twenties. He is wearing black fingerless gloves, black boots, and a thin, black overshirt that is unbuttoned over a black shirt. THE 1970s is carefree, funny, and calm. THE 1980s is casual, pithy, and dark.)

"It's my nature." Mastery and ownership in the texts of Hrotsvit Iotania
Periodically, in times of population bottlenecks and food shortages, food shortages that lead to decline in both density and in total aggregate numbers, those who can afford to do so retreat from society and into their homesteads. The most benevolent of these peoples take with them staff and others who have few alternatives, providing for these unfortunate souls employment and shelter. What follows is an epoch that seems—outside its walls—dark, lost, void of growth of any kind; a beautiful futility, a tyrannical system.

Color War
Color causes coveting or condemnation. That is eliminated here, where we are safe from the racial wars that brought about the world’s ruin. Our compound asks only that we banish all signs of color. We cover ourselves completely so that we are judged solely on our merits and do not fight over pettiness such as skin, hair, eye, or any other color. We eat in the dark, so that our palates make the distinction between foods. Each person is given a domicile and garments, tailored to your size; an identity patch will be given after your assessment. Everyone has a role to play and we have Assessors to help decide your categorization.
