Artistic Statement

My plays examine and even test the bonds between people. Be they family, friends, lovers, neighbors, or strangers, I find the commonality between their differences. While there’s a strong autobiographical element to my work, I treat each story as exactly that: a story, not a diary entry or a transcript. Many of the characters in my plays are at a crossroad in their life, challenged by themselves or circumstance to make the choice about which way to go. The combination of reflection and imagination makes for complex characters and believable relationships that engage, and even bond, with readers and audiences.
