Twinkle, a Machiavelli among dogs, enters into a battle of wills with Greg, Jenny's new love interest. Twinkle has a history of disliking Jenny's choices of gentleman companion (there is mention of a Jeremy from earlier)--it's plain he'd prefer a celibate mistress whose attention is focused on him, and full run of the house he considers his. The dislike is mutual; Greg is hoping to see Jenny give up Twinkle for him. Where will it end. Good play, yes, yes you are.

Bursting with energy, wit and theatrical imagination and available to see on Zoom through Quarantine players, ultimately somewhat harrowing, this is a play well worth reading and seeing--someday, one hopes, live in a theatre.

This play is up on Zoom in a reading by the Quarantine Players, and can be accessed either on its Facebook page or, I think, YouTube. It's evidently a Moveable Feast, in that the topical references can be and presumably will be updated in future productions. The spine of the production, a political cabaret played out as a game of Hollywood Squares with figures in the political landscape taking the place of Hollywood celebrities, can be fleshed out with updated references on a regular basis, either on Zoom or in theatres if that ever becomes a possibility again.

The man in the grey flannel hoodie. Poetic justice in yellow. A life of copy, art direction and deadlines, working against interference by people less familiar with the material than you, but more in touch with their prejudices and senior management. Don't you sometimes wish you could just fly away? Kyle does, though he has issues with flight going back to a famous crash that orphaned him and largely determined, for better and worse, the remaining course of his life. What remains is the future course, poised on the fierce urgency of now. Nice work, Doug.
