The tragedy of a good, simple man (a Brooklyn longshoreman) whose subconscious sexual attraction to the seventeen year old niece that he has raised as a daughter, collides with her attraction to one of his wife’s illegal immigrant cousins whom he has taken into his home out of his own generosity and love of his wife. Extremely moving tragedy with scattered humorous moments displaying both the air of 1950’s Brooklyn and a timeless, universal sense of the human condition. Contains subthemes relevant to current topics of controvery: such as the treatment of illegal aliens and anyone who seems “different” from the norm. Script published by Dramatists Play Service.

Struggling TV soap actress Jessica is offered a role she’s not sure she wants – Hamlet. As she copes with the insane idea (and the occasional threatening text from Sir Patrick Stewart), she encounters a wide-ranging ensemble of challenging characters – including an abusive acting coach, a bratty hacker niece, a cougar mom, a worldwise bartender, a sexist creep professor and a Shakespearean gravedigger – all played by women. Jessica’s journey to find herself in the role is a humorous and insightful exploration of gender, identity, and the challenges of acting.

All roles are for female-identifying actors.

THE STORY: A sequel to Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice set two years after the novel ends, MISS BENNET continues the story, only this time with bookish middle-sister Mary as its unlikely heroine.

When the family gathers for Christmas at Pemberley, an unexpected guest sparks Mary’s hopes for independence, an intellectual match, and possibly even love.
