What was your question?

Oh, yes; yes I am in the process of breaking the entire site. Thanks for asking!

You didn’t expect me to do any playwriting, did you?

Selected Lines Spoken By The President’s Daughter in David Mamet’s Spartan

• “What’s the matter you don’t like blondes?”
• “Fuck it, I don’t wanna go home. Nobody there cares about me. I’m just a whore. I’m just a little whore.”
• “I was raised by wolves.”
• “Leonidas, King of Sparta, when a neighboring state would plead for military aid, would send one man.”
• “You ever hear the one about the king who turned his daughter into gold? Yeah. He turned his daughter into gold.”
• “His fucking trick pony. His election ad. Fucking cocksuckers.”
• “He, he wouldn’t even come and see me. He said he would come and see me.”
• “‘Here’s what you tell the press. Don’t talk. Don’t tell anybody.’ I told him I was gonna tell.”
• “He had to come and see me. And he wouldn’t even come and see me.”
• (Gags, runs to the sink, and vomits.)

It’s done!

For your taste-testing: my new one-act Philosopher Kings. Enjoy your tour of Plato’s Cave.

And with the new play comes a new design for the main page. It’s likely not permanent, but tell me how it looks.
