There is some wonderful bounty to discover in POETRY, PROSE, AND...PIRATES! Ken Preuss writes such clever and hysterical dialogue, and the pacing in this play is absolute perfection. Starting with a typical writers group, the cast of brilliantly drawn characters soon begin clashing in unexpected and hilarious ways. This high-energy play is incredibly entertaining throughout, giving performers so much rich material to explore online or on stage.

An absurdist skewering of writers’ groups, plagiarism, inspiration, and creative theft, this rondelay of self-absorption, opportunism, and betrayal had me laughing out loud. Savage and ridiculous and tremendous fun.

Writers will especially appreciate this fun comedy, which playfully explores concepts of creativity and inspiration. In classic Preuss style, the script escalates in waves of hilarious absurdity.
