Beskrivelse
Six short plays performed between 2009 and 2019. "Potions and Pets" is a one-act comedy on the theme of "if your pets could talk." "One Step Braver" is the true story of Ellory Schempp's protest against the reading of Bible passages and The Lord's Prayer in his Abington, Pennsylvania, high school in 1956, which led to a U.S. Supreme Court decision in 1962. "The Reunion that Wasn't" tells the story of an American veteran of World War II who returns to the town on Italy where he fell in love with a local girl, but his meeting with the girl-turned-woman forces him to face a picture of himself completely at odds with his self-image. "Remembrance" is a family story centered on a woman nearing death in a hospice, who talks for her nephew about the meaning of life and death, and who reveals a secret to her brother that makes him realize he isn't the only person dealing with unbearable memories. "Was Justice Served?" contrasts the actions of a World War II veteran who liberated a German prison camp with his court-martial for mistreating an SS officer. "Male Bonding" is a humorous look at the shallowness of men's emotional lives.
