and kissing ass, Number 1 and Number 2 flush souls into flesh from the top of
a celestial toilet. To pass the time from one flush to the next, they make
the fatal mistake of playing "flush game." Their guests are Henry
and June, Miller's sexy, shrewd wife. If the leading
deity hadn't quit during the dress rehearsal, Flush Game would have premiered some time ago at
the Seattle Fringe Festival. Click here

two Romanian refugees undergoing some cultural adjustment in Small Town, USA.
When the program that brings refugees to the community is threatened, Doru
comes to the rescue of his sponsor, risking losing the girl he loves. This is my
first English play. In 1987, an Emmy award-winning director took an interest
in it and invited me to Los Angeles, where I met John Wayne's son and a
Playboy centerfold turned actress. In the end, nothing came of it. BEYOND THE STYX NIGHTINGALES DON'T SING is the tragedy of a three-generation family in communist
Romania. The story became the central plot in Crossing the Styx. Premiered in
1993 at The New Playwrights Theatre in Seattle. Fred Wolf, the author of the
popular Quantum Leap
on shamanism, portrayed the Securitate Colonel. |
