Asked what his latest play was about, Edward Albee would often say, "...an hour and a half".  That describes most of my work, too, but lacking the clout and moustache of that literary lion, I'm cool with getting more specific.  Below are some quick introductions to my recent plays; many of the scripts for these can be found on my New Play Exchange profile.

WESTMINSTER (2F, 2M)
When Pia's old friend Krys gifts her with a surprise rescue dog, the women and their partners face off over issues of class, accountability, and good breeding.  Part morality play, part screwball romp, Westminster digs into "acceptable" social prejudices and the consequences of leaving those biases unchecked.
