A young woman kneels on the sidewalk on Wilshire Boulevard, Los Angeles cradling the head of her dead lover. At first, she thinks her man has suffered a stroke, but Juliet soon discovers that he has been poisoned. A private investigator murdered because of what he knew. After months of mourning, Juliet decides to take up the reins of private detection left dangling by her dead lover, if only to find out why he was murdered, and more importantly, by whom. The problem is, as soon as you set yourself up as a private eye, people expect you to find answers to their problems and put your own on the back burner. But are these new cases somehow connected? Her dead lover didn’t believe in coincidence, and neither does she. Does that mean things are not what they seem? Being a young woman in a man’s world in 1970 was bad enough, but finding out how to see the connections of cause and effect while dealing with misogamy and prejudice in men paid to uphold the law forces Juliet to discover her own limits but also her own strengths.

    This is a collection of ultra-short performances written for one or two actors. The beauty of the very short play (or monologue) is the way it condenses the art of acting to its essential ingredients. A notable quote about this sort of cameo performance says, 'A good cameo is like finding out that the edible decoration on a cake is not only edible, but delicious.' Another stat...

  • Out of my Mind
    Martin Hancock
    This is a collection of stories that self-deterministically ended up being shorter that what most people would consider book-length. Of course, it raises the question, what is book-length?
