Don't Feed Dead Roses your Drinking Water

by Ozzy Wagner

A ten-minute play. The roses are dying. The roses aren’t dying. Alice is confused and very, very thirsty.
OR: A play about love and hollowness. Experimental.

Don't Feed Dead Roses your Drinking Water

    This piece is so different than what I typically gravitate toward, but Ozzy Wagner really delivers a beautifully lyrical piece that explores a depth of emotion that I don't think a more straightforward theatrical presentation would illustrate with justice. With tight choreography and deliberate, stylized delivery this can and will be an extremely powerful piece, hitting like a poignant spoken word poem.

    what a gem this play is -- so exquisitely told. i'm awestruck after reading this, and i can only imagine how breathtaking it would be to witness it in performance.
