I’m happy to introduce my newest play, “Dies.” It’s a one-act comedy about 4 actresses trying out for the part of Juliet and one method director who focuses on the death in Shakespeare and not the life.
You can download the play from the Dies home page.
For those people looking for 10-minute play scripts, this one is a strong candidate.
I actually started writing this about 2 years ago, but it wasn’t going anywhere. But I was inspired to pick it up again after attending a lecture in Prague by famous avant-garde theatre director Robert Wilson. It was three hours spent I won’t soon forget for many reasons that I won’t get into here.
I let my mind wander from it for a bit, but another major event kind of pushed me back on the horse. I was in Tokyo during the heart of the earthquake-tsunami-nuclear meltdown disaster. It was during this experience, and its many aftershocks, that I thought, “Yeah, maybe it’s time you finish this play. It’s only 10 minutes long for Christ’s sake.”
I’m happy to introduce my new one-act play, Feng Shui for Cubists. Like my others, Feng Shui for Cubists is a royalty-free play.
Feng Shui for Cubists is the story of Gruen, a young advertising copywriter who leaves the comfort of his hack advertising job to try to make it in the advertising Mecca of New York City.
His initiation comes quick as he’s thrown into the fire and called on to create a campaign for the Trust Corporation, which is trying to market a new ice-cream-like treat made from the by-products of hydraulic fracturing and more than a touch of high-fructose corn syrup.
Here, Gruen meets the real mad men of advertising and will have to make the ultimate choice: Whether he’s in or he’s out.
It’s more than a bit on the absurd side. Telling you how would be giving it away. Instead, read for yourself. (Let’s just say, there’s a reason why that cat is smiling.) Download it from this link: http://terrydugan.com/plays/Feng_Shui_For_Cubists.pdf
