  • Absolutely hilarious short play. I now want to play Melto Man and have even developed a "monstrous bleat" I would use. Easy to stage. Lots of fun.

  • A funny and moving drama about an unusual family coming to terms with one another before it's too late. Beautifully and realistically drawn characters and a plot that can't be easily predicted. All this and a clown, too!

  • Michael R. McGuire: Minotaurs. Toreros.

    A beautiful, dreamlike play that features a woman bullfighter. I saw an early production and fell in love.
