Some of my plays . . . .

Introduction

Some of my plays are published, others are not. Some of them I have as files on my computer, others I do not.

If any of them interest you, I will do what I can to get you a copy.

This is an overview of the pages you will one day be able to click on and read more about, from latest to earliest:

1. The Innocence of Trees.

A play about Saskatchewan-born artist Agnes Martin who made a name for herself in the abstract expressionist art movement in New York in the 1950s and ’60s. The play premiered at Theatre Network in Edmonton in November, 2022. It is published and I can arrange for you to get a print copy or a PDF.

2. Queen Lear

An ageing actress finds herself cast as Lear in an all-female production of King Lear. Her memory is failing, so she hires the teen age daughter of a friend to help her memorize her lines. Their relationship evolves as the opening of the play looms in the near future. The original production featured cellist Morag Northy’s performance of her original score for the play. The play was written for legendary Calgary actress Joyce Doolittle on the occasion of her 80th birthday. Subsequently it had a two year run in Istanbul and environs in Turkish translation featuring the late great Yildiz Kenter.

  1. How would I be able to order a copy of “Some Assemby Required” ? Is it still possible to perform this?

    • Hi Nancy,

      Sorry for the horribly late reply. The play is available from Broadview Press. At least last time I checked it was. Let me know if you have any trouble and I’ll help out if I can. Take care,

      Eugene

  2. I need a copy of Darkness on the edge of town. How would I be able to get my hands on it? Any help is appreciated thank you
    😊

    • Hi Johnny,
      Damn, that’s going back a few years! Thanks so much for remembering me and your comment. That was always one of my favourite posters though we got shit from the politically correct crowd. Oh well, at least people noticed! I’ll check out your website. Thanks for letting me know about it. Take care,
      ES

  4. Maybe this isn’t the correct venue for this, but I have exhausted other options. I have been searching for a way to obtain performance rights for A Guide to Mourning; how do I go about doing this?
