The Far End of the EarthUploaded: 04/19/2009 by Keith McGregor Play - Drama The Far End of the Earth is an intense, but at the same time intimate drama of reconciliation among three
generations of the women of one northwest family. The grandmother, Annie, is something of a hermit and the owner of one of the last privately owned, old-growth forests in western Washington. Her daughter, Gayle, is a single working mother who wants Annie to sell the trees, so she'll have the money to take care of herself in her old age, and also so that she can put Jo, the granddaughter, through college, and thereby guarantee her future. Woven through the threads of this story are ideas about the fragile nature of our environment, the importance of intelligent and responsible actions in all phases of our existence, and some questions as to the limits of knee-jerk fundamental Chris¬ti¬an¬ity as a source of solutions to the problems that face our world today.
ObscuraUploaded: 02/24/2008 by dennman72 Play - Drama What happens to love when it is forgotten? Is love a choice? Is memory? Annie wakes up in a hospital
bed after surviving a deadly car crash with two men standing over her. One of them is possibly her husband the other is her lover, which is which? The effects of her amnesia play tricks on her mind and her reality as she tries to piece together who she is now and who she was before the accident occurred. Obscura propels us into the mysteries of identity and love through a series of flashbacks and flash forwards built on the confused memories of this central character. An estimated 5.3 million Americans live with a disability related to traumatic brain injuries. Annie’s journey is just a hazy reflection of many of these untold stories.
Darling Little WifeUploaded: 11/30/2007 by Alexander Boot Play - Historical Mozart's wife and her lover (his friend and student), inspired by Salieri hatch a plot to kill him. Mozart by
then had alienated everyone so much by his erratic behaviour but mostly by his genius that they all pitch in. Showing the eternal conflict between an outstanding man and philistine society, the play depicts in a new light the circumstances of Mozart's death and burial. The approach is consistently anti-'Amadeus'.
