Artistic Statement

I am interested in moral terror. What is the line between good and evil? How can we blur that line? What would make a good person do bad, or vice versa?

My plays are indictments of the power structures that normalize evil and incentivize self-interest. Stories should be windows into other people's choices, and I want you to wonder what you would have done in their circumstances.

And sometimes also comedies.
