Knifepoint

Knifepoint was my very first full-length play. I wrote it in college for a playwriting class, and then re-wrote it a half-dozen times before it was produced in 2003 during the fall semester of my senior year.

The play is a two-hander starring a man and a woman who are kidnapped and imprisoned for mysterious reasons. Tensions are high and only get higher as the play proceeds.

Video of the final dress rehearsal is available here:

Living in Concussion

Living in Concussion was my third full-length play, written in 2004 during the second semester of my senior year of college.

It tells the story of a socially maladjusted young man named Davis who never leaves his apartment. His best friend is a talking severed head. Together they decide to build a robotic woman to help alleviate Davis’ loneliness. This goes poorly.

Sweeten the Punch

Sweeten The Punch was my second full-length play, written circa 2003. It’s the life story of a narrator who is a pathological liar.

There are also scenes where a stereotypical 1950s family deals with life in America. In retrospect, I probably added those to pad the length.
