While not intended to be as chilling as George Orwell’s old classic, 1984, this end times story takes place a good number of years in the future and gives a picture of how life may have changed. It measures the plausibility of an Armageddon-like end to the world and whether there could actually be the assumed Biblical possibility of being “left behind.” The story is told through the lives of ten very different people after another global economic crash, deeper than 2008 from new stimulus spending by more inept governments. The chronicle will tell how several of these individuals, without wanting to, encounter Christianity and why they embrace it, misunderstand it, or reject it.It will dig into some science and faith issues in the lives of these people, including evolution and creationism. The book will detail efforts to put big government in its place, in order to recapture our personal freedoms. But, it will move into rapidly unfolding drama, as well as a little romance now and then.The narrative will show how the oil shortage of the 1970’s has returned. There will be a tour of the inner workings of a massive oil platform in the rough, stormy Arctic Sea and the startup of a photovoltaic power station. The book will paint a picture of diminishing oil reserves and decades of Middle East tensions over Israel, as a fuse that begins to ignite Armageddon. The drama will build slowly, as shortages of resources, geopolitical tensions, terrorism, and fateful military moves push the world right up to the doorstep of World War III. The future of our ten people will take an abrupt turn, but one won’t be ready.

  • Mississippi Goddamn
    Jonathan Norton
       “Some shows have warnings for strobe lights. Some have them for loud gunshots.  Some for smoke.   MISSISSIPPI GODDAMN, a new play by Jonathan Norton should have one for intensity.   Granted, anyone attending a play about civil rights pioneer Medgar Evers set in 1963 Jackson, Mississippi, should expect some strife. Blood in the battle for racial equality is no surprise, but f...

    Georges Feydeau / Laurence Senelick
       “It seems to me that for fertility in droll inventions, the perpetual outpouring of unforeseen misunderstandings, for the inexhaustible gaiety of dialogue, Feydeau’s new play is superior to everything he’s written so far. The most astonishing thing is the sureness with which everything is controlled, explained, justified, in the most extravagant buffoonery. The cross-purpose...

  • Fit For A Queen
    Betty Shamieh
       “Plenty of glamorous backstabbing, diva dissing and sexual double-crossing…has every right to claim the name Dynasty for itself.  But the title character in Betty Shamieh’s bouncy, bumpy comic melodrama is the real thing. A queen, I mean, and not just of the self-dramatizing type. Scratch that. She’s more than a queen. She’s a pharaoh, one Hatshepsut, who reigned over Egypt ...
