During a college sexual encounter, the girl in Nick's bed wants to know why his abdomen is covered in scars. Does Nick tell the truth, or does he do what he does so wellweave an elaborate tale? The question launches him into a memory. An outsider at age fourteen, Nick discovers the intoxicating pleasures of inventing fake personalities in the chat rooms of the World Wide Web. Adam's online profile, and the words "I want to fall in love," pique his curiosity. Nick invents Rachel, the girl of Adam's dreams, and his curiosity becomes obsession. As Adam mounts the pressure to meet his Internet love in the real world, Nick creates ever more elaborate deceptions to fuel Adam's desire. When the boys finally meet in the real world, the consequences are catastrophic. A tale of deception, fluid personality and sexual license in the Internet age, DARK PLAY examines what happens when the real world and virtual world collide.

Diagram of a Paper Airplane is an emotionally wrenching, multi-layered, play that deserves to reach a larger public audience. A once gifted playwright, Javier C., who mysteriously disappeared several decades before, drowns in a flash flood in New Mexico. Three of his once closest friends, now at odds with each other, network the news from their separate New York City tenement apartments. Before his death, Javier sent separate pieces of Diagram of a Paper Airplane to the three friends dictating that his play, like a puzzle, could only be made whole if the pieces are read together. But Murillo builds the complexity by layering the frame story with a post-mortem delivery of a father's letter to his only daughter. "The greatest danger to a child is the father and mother that brought you into the world." In reaction, as the individual mourners retell their personal memories, that's when the true reasons for the break up of family and friends becomes clear.

Somewhere in America, a man fantasizes about his best friend's wife. In another city, a young housewife momentarily loses sight of her children. Elsewhere, a politician relives a tragic second that forever changed his life, and a mother wonders where her teenage son got the gun. And in one town, a man on the verge of committing a horrific act of violence watches all this unfold on his TV screen. A HUMAN INTEREST STORY (OR THE GORY DETAILS AND ALL) is an unflinching portrait of an America obsessed with voyeurism. This mesmerizing, funny and frightening work asks the question: Is the imagination more cruel and unforgiving than reality?
