Day To End

Synopsis:
The play explores one evening in the relationship between two roommates, one of whom may be in the throes of a manic episode as he grapples with a personal loss far in his past. As the evening progresses, it becomes less and less clear which one of the two men is in their right mind, and even less clear who owns the despair that seems to be creeping in from the world outside their tiny East Village apartment.

Gordy Crashes

Synopsis:
Gordy is having a bad week. Superstorm Sandy has driven him out of his apartment and into a dizzying blur of couch surfing, bad takeout, alcohol binges, stories about the horrible destruction in the Rockaways, and aimless wandering between Manhattan and Brooklyn. This eventually lands him, delirious and sleep-deprived, on the doorstep of his estranged ex-girlfriend, Mere. Over the next three days, Gordy will see the true extent of the storm's devastation as his declining mental state steers him into a head-on collision with his own fear and anxiety.

Notes:
Gordy Crashes received a reading in the 2013 WINKS Series, produced by Wide Eyed Productions
