Cleavage, a collection of plays

Description

Five plays. Four actors. One playwright. Now the script can be yours. A collection of short plays and one-acts involving people separating or coming together, Cleavage will make you wish you'd been there for the naked girl. But we're getting ahead of ourselves...

The plays collected herein include:

'The Crux'
Hannah wants to marry Frank. Frank is in love with someone else. A lengthy phone call weighs out what is left unsaid.

'What if Jesus Were Still a Carpenter?'
A short sketch featuring "our lord and savior." A modern-day Jesus owns his own hardware store. Slightly sacrilegious, not for the weak of heart.

'Love, Sex, and Strap-ons'
Will loves Theresa. Theresa is seeing James. James is "seeing" Claire. Claire is dating Will and lives with Theresa. Bedhopping abounds. This show involves sex and nudity.

'Drifting'
A story about losing contact and not remembering how. Circumstance distances the two main characters and, despite their most staunch efforts, drives them apart.

'Until...'
Violet is a naive girl who loses her heart to two men. She has to make a decision which could cost her both. Replete with sarcastic narrator.

Reviews:

"If you weren't there. If you didn't see it. You missed out." -- J.F. Lynch

"Cleavage is simultaneously witty and touching. The various short plays within manage to look at the difficult or tragic points in relationships with a loving yet sardonic eye, combining humor and frailty with a deft touch." -- Robin Mork, author of 'Still Life with Architecture'
