Top of PageLove Sick
Synopsis:
A sex farce about a not-too-bright struggling artist at a health spa, who gets caught 'in flagrante' with a married woman, but the woman is able to convince her husband that he's a brilliant gay filmmaker-and then, as he frantically tries to keep up the pretense, a string of misunderstandings result in him becoming the toast of Hollywood, getting pulled into other secret affairs, being made the president of a bogus film company, and unwittingly becoming involved in a criminal scheme which could result in his murder. Throughout, there is an underlying theme which explores how perception dictates reality, and the malleable nature of truth.

Top of PageStruggling Truths
Synopsis:
A young Tibetan man becomes a Buddhist monk, and later chooses to fight the Communist invaders, despite his vows of non-violence. His sister, after being abused by corrupt ruling-class Tibetans, joins with the Chinese People's Liberation Army when they invade Tibet. Between the two siblings is the young Dalai Lama, who must walk a tightrope of diplomacy as he tries to keep the Communists and the Buddhists from going to war. the play is narrated by a mercurial, mischievous Buddhist guru, who casually reincarnates himself so that he can participate in the lives of the three major characters. Tensions mount as the friction between the factions grows stronger, till finally the three story lines collide, as the battle is joined -- Tibetans against Chinese, brother against sister -- and the Dalai Lama is forced to flee into exile.
