Three Diaries
Prominent Ashville citizen Franklin Kenny announced his bid for mayor. Unfortunately, several people wish him dead. If he dies, will it be by the hand of his alcohol-abusing, pill-popping wife; by his wife's erotomanic, delusional, grocery-bag boy; by their multiple-personality grounds keeper; by the security agent assigned to their household; by Mr. Kenny's powerful senator father-in-law; or by their commanding housekeeper? Maybe diary entries can reveal the truth. Diary entries, however, may confound reality, especially when people's minds frequently black out or grossly distort reality.
Sir William Bowlinggreen and Company
Sir William Bollinggreen is driven to transport Mr. William Shakespeare's finest works to the gun-shooting saloons of the grand old American West. He realizes adaptation is a necessity for plays to be digestible for cowpokes, gunslingers, and saloon women. For good measure, mix in a bit of Charles Dickens' classics. Who in those savage lands would ever notice? After all, there is very little difference between Roman senators and Zuni warriors. Some older thespians in the weary acting troupe object, but the show must go on. As tempers flare, Mr. Shakespeare's plots serve as templates for troupe members to love, hate, manipulate, envy, plot, and poison. "To be .... or to have been." - Not much can rival Old West saloon show business.
