100 Reasons for War/Carpet & Sand
Two plays, one cast… a gorilla and a dozen or so sheep.
​
Carpet and Sand is a pastiche of narrative threads. Peter Brook and a troupe of actors travel through the Sahara Desert in search of a new type of theatre. Tens of thousands of sheep spontaneously panic and stampede across Oxfordshire. A flock of birds gather for a conference. The play asks: who do we follow and why?
​
100 Reasons for War is a series of vignettes exploring the very nature of war and humanity. A play about the power of language, the birth of public relations, the difference between a society of baboons and a society of bonobos, and ultimately, why we’ve had so many wars since the “Great War”. Written in 2015, 100 Reasons for War is a funny, provocative, and cautionary response to the 100-year anniversary of Gallipoli.

VCA GRAD PRODUCTION:
Dead Serious
There were five on a chartered yacht.
Then there were four on a stormy sea.
After dinner, there were three…
It is a weak-chinned divorcee, a bloodthirsty business shark, a pissed falling star, a pious aerobics matriarch and a cutthroat grandma.
It is murder on the Choral Queen. It is Dead Serious.
Get it?
Good.

I love you. I love New Year’s Eve. I love the house you built me. I love Paris. I love the top of the Empire State Building. I love summer. I love my brother. I love dogs. I love Frida Kahlo. I love Mandy Patinkin. I love mid-century architecture. I love Adidas. I love banana bread. I love my Macbook Pro. I love you.
