this lurking thing

Picture
This Lurking Thing 
(in development) relates a Halloween triptych of tales where the living are far more feared than the dead - the true and grisly history of Dracula, the macabre bedtime story of an infirm woman, and the biography of a man who presides as a living ghost.  Each story reveals the scarier side of presenting our true selves.

This Lurking Thing includes an adaptation of a short story by fantasy and science fiction writer Esther Friesner.  It was presented October 27th, 2011 as a workshop production at Dixon Place in NYC, and produced by The Artful Conspirators.

This production was originally work-shopped in the winter of 2010 at Wellfleet Harbor Actors Theater as part of their playwriting LAB series.


1905

Picture
After several years collaboration with the Misa Table we created and presented 1905, a full length play with live music, video and still projection, song, and storytelling.

1905 tells the history of six immigrants in a rural Nebraska community and the reactions and surprises that come with a screening of the first of-length motion picture, The Great Train Robbery, arriving in their community. 

1905 was presented in 2010 with the help of a Visioning Grant from and at the University of Massachusetts in Amherst.
