Twists, turns, and violence abound in this unflinching character study of A and B. A tour de force for two actors, THE COIN (as in "two sides"!!) keeps flipping, creating suspense, conflict, and a very surprising resolution. An expertedly crafted play by Dan Taube, who never turns away from uncomfortable topics or flawed characters, much to our benefit. Read and produce!

Dan Taube’s The Coin is a gripping and intense exploration of human disparity and connection, set against a backdrop of ominous tension. Through its stark dialogue and powerful character dynamics, the play offers a chilling yet thought-provoking examination of identity and fate, making it a compelling piece for actors and directors alike.

Men. Amirite? Regardless of socioeconomic status, the presence or absence of love, one’s education or opportunities, society does not teach men what to do with their rage. So they improvise.

Taube’s tight, intense experimental piece has the grim atmosphere of Kafka and the streetwise brutality of Scorsese. The play is a gift for male-identifying actors, especially one who is small but tough, not to mention directors, lighting and sound designers, and fight choreographers. It would be a helluva thing to see staged. Visceral, raw, and deceptively sophisticated on many levels.
