Nat Turner's Bloody Vengeance
|
|
While slavery was still very much an issue in America (the
"land of the free"), Nat Turner led a bloody revolt against the
white men who would keep him and his brethren enslaved. The struggle for
freedom is examined with an eye on the underlying question "Is murder
of those who would murder others a crime?" The audience must
ultimately decide if a greater good is served by outbursts of violence that
take men’s lives. Copyright and published in January 1993.

Pax Vobiscum
|
|
A Papal Bull issued by Pope Innocent VIII authorized the Roman
Catholic Church’s Inquisition to spread into Germany. A man wrongly accused of heinous crimes
sets the backdrop for this moving and compelling drama. The play explores how the inequities of
society, the corruption and hypocrisy of the church, the frailties of the
human psyche and the pervasive abuse of power turn men against one
another. The E-Publication version can be accessed by clicking here. Copyright and published
in August 2005.
