Buying And Celling

Synopsis:
How similar and how different is the attempt to close a business deal from a seduction? In this very contemporary short play, a man and a woman sit facing each other engaged in what seems to be a heated discussion about her loss of trust and his philandering. But things are not what they seem as the two characters turn to face the audience at the end of the play to reveal they are talking on their cell phones to two different people about two different subjects.

Caesar & Cleo

Caesar & Cleo
a fast, funny, bawdy, pun filled, double entendre loaded look at the middle aged but always horny Julius Caesar; his very hot and ambitious twenty something mistress Cleopatra; the handsome but dim Marc Anthony; the jealous and always plotting Brutus and Cassius; as well as Caesar's tough as nails wife Calpurnia. the story, the plots and the plans are all told from the point of view of the wise and sarcastic Colitus, Caesar's chief slave - with running commentary from a Roman Chorus with a hip hop flavor.
