Flesh, Flash And Frank Harris

Synopsis:
an embittered old Frank Harris reminisces in his apartment in Nice and, through a series of flashbacks, recreates the many ups and downs in his life - his friendship with the likes of Oscar Wilde and George Bernard Shaw, his successes and failures with women, his battle with censors upon the publication of My Life and Loves - and ultimately comes to grips with the many ghosts from his past, including his younger and middle-aged self.

Homerica

Synopsis:
Each of the three acts can be performed independently of the others but, if presented together, the play traces sexual mores in America - past, very Victorian and repressed; present, wild and abandoned; future, scientific. The play is a statement on the possible consequences of the sexual revolution on the nuclear family, especially on children.
