Scripts with Insects

Our new featured list comes from playwright Jo Brisbane, who offers this introduction: "What a pleasure it was to pull out a magnifying glass and discover these scripts that involve insects. In most, insects are the star characters. In a few, insect obsession brings humans together for romance. Several consider the religious and murderous meaning of the preying/praying mantis. They all got under my skin, and I am itching to see them onstage!"

Mark Harvey Levine recommended Seneca and the Soul of Nero by Marcia Eppich-Harris
“ Seneca and the Soul of Nero brings to life this period of Roman History. The play is filled with wonderful duels between several characters as they all fight over, as it says, the Soul of Nero. The character of Seneca is wise and resigned and lovely; Nero is terrifyingly human and inhuman at the same time. The script is filled with surprises as it moves towards its very affecting ending. ”
Kate Danley recommended Wish You Were Here by Claudia Haas
“ What a sweet romantic comedy! In these days when so many of us are longing for travel, it sweeps you away to the romance of Paris. Lovely uplifting escapism! ”
Kate Danley recommended The Deal - 10 Minute by Ryan Kaminski
“ What a deliciously delightful wicked little play! Filled with Twilight Zone twists and turns, what starts off as a simple meeting over lemonade switches into something else all together. Clean enough to be performed by high school on up, yet so sophisticated and smart. A really gem! ”
Kate Danley recommended LIGHTS UP! by Jack Levine
“ Oh jeez... This gentle roasting is So funny and SO relatable for anyone who has ever performed in theatre. A great little comedy with characters and situations you will recognize. Would be a great addition to an evening of shorts! ”
