Politics and Corruption

POLITICS AND CORRUPTION Three Plays In these three exciting character-driven plays, personal lives are dramatically effected when events and circumstances challenge moral and ethical postures. Blackmail A political thriller in which a Washington intern disappears and the Ohio congressman with whom she was having an affair is suspected of being complicit in her murder. He never is charged with the crime but although he doesn't kill her, he is complicit in her murder. He justifies this on grounds that she was going to blackmail him. He confesses to only one person, his wife, who will keep his secret and will help him to win re-election. Campaign Strategy Political and romantic fireworks converge during a three-way race for a Congressional seat, as political professionals in opposing campaigns walk a tightrope between crises in their romantic relationships and their political campaigns. Covenants And Restrictions A young woman disappears in a quagmire of condo corruption, and three people turn suspicion on each other when her body is found on the beach. Each of these people had reasons for want Carla out of the way. Only Gloria knows that Carla's estranged husband has been in town and that Carla has killed him. For police and the audience, Carla's murder remains unsolved.
