Last Gasp has been selected for the 2020 Mid-America Theatre Conference in Chicago. I’ve had fun working on this play, an apocalyptic dark comedy about an imagined climate-change end game. I try hard to keep the audience guessing about what what and who they are watching. That is all I will say. No spoilers here!
MATC is a development conference, so it will give me a chance to work some kinks out of a script that owes a debt to The Twilight Zone, and that some have found confusing. I may need to weave in a bit more exposition, but I don’t want to make it too easy to follow; it’s meant to be a play that makes you wonder and think.
Two other playwrights I “met” through the Playwright Submission Binge will have plays at the conference: Marj O’Neill-Butler and Lindsay Partain. I have a lot of respect for their work and am excited to meet them face to face.
You can read, recommend, or request rights to produce Last Gasp and my other plays at New Play Exchange.
