Drama

Set in various time periods from 1945 through early 21st century

A woman, Martha, has Alzheimer’s and lives in an assisted living facility. Throughout the play, she gets confused and finds herself in various moments from her past. We learn about her experiences working on the Manhattan Project, her long lost loves, and her ability to remain gracious and loving despite a life of loss. All of these experiences mesh seamlessly together as they might in the mind of a person losing her memory.

Dramatic Adaptation

Produced by MoCo Arts High School Theatre January 2026

 

The world is fighting a pandemic, COVID-19.  Political turmoil stirs as the new king, Creon, denies burial to a royal son. The story follows Antigone’s classic plight, but with a few new characters and a 21st century look at the traditional Greek chorus. In this adaptation, social media and news media become the chorus--letting the audience know what’s happening and how they should feel about it all.
