Plays

  • Heaven
    After an impromptu parent-teacher conference, a struggling mother is forced to confront her daughter's recent string of disturbing behavior at school.
  • Kuwaiti Ego Death
    It's 1991. Two oil-well firefighters from Oklahoma prepare to join the international crew tasked with extinguishing the seven-hundred Kuwaiti oil fires that have been left burning in wake of the Gulf War. What starts as a simple international work contract, rapidly unfurls into a complex exploration of culture, identity, and consciousness.
