One-Act. (Co-written with Jeremy Park) James and Jeremy have shown up to tell the story of Alexander the Great's horse using the time-honoured tradition of Two-Person Horse Costume (or TPHC for those in the industry).

    James Odin Wade entwines the story of Alexander the Great's famous horse with the vaudeville tradition of the two-man horse costume,,,but they're both the buts! All wafted on mounds of lovely and funny word play. Bravo Bucephalus!

    Very funny! Lots of physical humor that I’m sure is just hysterical on stage and lots of great lines like this gem, “Marxism is for jerks, Ryan.” And it even has a touching theme of being true to yourself and art.
