PLAYS
E. P. has authored a collection of six one-act comedic plays about primal fears to be performed in sequence.
The entire cast consists of 4 men and one woman, ages ranging from 18-75 with each actor playing 4-5 characters. The 1 Acts run between 8-12 minutes for a total performance time of around 1 (1/2) hours. Set design is minimal, but there are costume changes and the use of sound effects.
The sequence of the 6 fears are:
Fear of Being Obsolete
Fear Of Poverty
Fear Of Damnation
[ Intermission ]
Fear Of Being A Leader
Fear Of Being Ostracized
Fear Of Being Yourself
Though the themes are dark, there is humor throughout, these are comedies, after all, as the characters enact scenarios from their own worst fears. Or as Job in the Bible puts it, "for the thing which I greatly feared is come on me, and that which I was afraid of is come to me." Are we the architects of our own disasters? And is the tyrant created by the victim? These are the questions posed to the audience.

Amazon User Reviews
"If steampunk ever transformed into lyrical form, this book
would be the melody...Dark and delightfully twisty." -W. C.
"The wild, post-apocalytpic imagery, pacing, and disjointed structure of the poetry in this volume immediately called to mind The Wasteland by T.S. Elliot for this reader." -J. B.
"By no means a bedtime read, this book, a beautiful amalgam of poetry and prose, needs the reader to be alert and engaged on
various levels to be able to fully enjoy the poet’s creativity." -M
"Buy this book and you won't be disappointed!" -L. R.
