A double bill of two short plays premiered at the Unhinged Festival of Disturbing Theatre. An intense theatrical experience. Death! Love! Blood! Capitalism! Mother issues! An ambulance called to the venue (because it was so intense!)!

Phantosmia

In a room outside of space and time, filled with the jarring sound of hammers and the even more jarring sound of their own voices, Old Timer and Newcomer are working. They are working as fast as they can, but they are running out of time. When the time runs out, something is going to happen. When the time runs out, one of them is going to win and the other is going to lose. Is it almost time? They don’t know. Only the mysterious force that shapes their reality knows. So they work. They bleed. They hope, without knowing exactly what it is they hope for. They work. And time is running out. Time is always running out.

No Lilies

Finding yourself in one of the most important moments in life, what would you want for yourself? Would you be strong enough to make your own honest choices? Could you follow through with your own needs? Would you be able to reject others’ opinions no matter how much they meant to you? Somewhere between love and death we will all be tested to make choices.

No one wakes up thinking that today is the day they are going to die…
