"Dark Play or Stories for Boys"

Mar 25, 2009 14:20

I haven't been on stage in two years. I've done scene work for class and have taken my upper level acting courses, but for the past two years I've really stopped acting to focus on my writing and dabble in directing.

However, I read a play last night that makes me want to act again so badly.

Carlos Murillo's Dark Play or Stories for Boys is a totally original and engrossing piece of theatre writing. The characters are endlessly fascinating and seem to be so real with the theatricality needed for a well-written drama. It's exactly the kind of play I'd love to invest in for months, trying to bring the story to life.

If you like theatre and it's being performed near you- go see it. Or, just read it. Either way, you'll see it's power.

Wow. Kudos, Carlos, kudos.
