FULL LENGTH: What if you were given the chance to stage a scene from your life? To write and revise it before it ever happens? This is the opportunity that Rachel is offered in Glory to the Father, a meta-psychodrama about childhood trauma, overbearing religion, and complicated family relationships. But as the scene unfolds, again and again, Rachel finds her characters refusing to do as they’re told and forcing her to process a past that she was never prepared for.

FULL LENGTH: Sophie fights for her legal rights to inherit the home and accounts of her partner, Lena.
Challenged by Lena’s mother, Lauren, the asexual nature of their partnership is called into question and put on trial. Load-Bearing Walls focuses on themes of romance, love, dignity in death, and the value that society places on sexual relationships.

This play was inspired by a Swedish Supreme Court ruling in July 2022. An ace couple lived together for 13 years before one woman died. Despite her will, leaving their home and assets to her partner, her family contested because Swedish law stated that marriage was defined by consummation and inheritance was determined by marriage. The partner won and the Supreme Court amended their constitution, validating relationships that do not include sex.

This is not their story, but one of my own imaginings, because we do live in a society that values sex over intimacy and sexual relationships over platonic ones.

TRIGGER WARNINGS
Acephobia, death and dying, miscarriage

This play should transcend time and place. Joan’s journey happens quickly and mostly through journals to God.

A young woman finds common ground with her grandfather, while battling a shared enemy.

The focus of this piece is intergenerational connection between Jane and her aging grandfather. Both have a common struggle in their changing relationship and power dynamics with Mom. I chose to place the characters in a situation that exists mostly in Grandpa’s mind, hunkered down behind a barricade and waging war. The use of toilet paper is also deliberate, both symbolically as a societal release from the restrictions of the pandemic and because paper, specifically toilet paper, is often fixated on during dementia. Ultimately, these characters transform by learning that surrender does not mean loss.
