The Collected Plays, Volume One

The Collected Plays, Volume One brings together under one cover seven full-length plays by American playwright Scot Lahaie, which range from political drama to ironic comedy. The award-winning play DOGFALL is an unflinching exploration of the political and social morass of the right-to-die debate in America today. PURGING MARY is an uncompromising exploration of the political and social intricacies of abortion-on-demand in America. The courtroom drama GLORIA DEI is an unapologetic exploration of the toxic mire of the right-to-life debate. The ironic GADFLY uses comedy to explore the power of the establishment to determine what we call accepted Truth and chronicles how it has historically been the outsider that has moved our understanding of Truth forward. The history play LUMINARIUM is a dramatic retelling of the conversion of King Drtad, the first of the Armenian kings to embrace the Christian faith. BIG BROTHER 2014 is a techno-savvy blend of theater and media that takes its inspiration from George Orwell's dystopian novel 1984. The play is set in a not-too-distant future in a declining America where political apathy has led to the rise of a secret organization whose express purpose is to control the nation through technological superiority.
