Press release out today for the 2015 Emerging Writer Group‘s Spotlight Series of readings produced by the Public Theater. My play THE FORCINGS will be read April 13, directed by Lileana Blain-Cruz.
Description of THE FORCINGS…
Company man Ernie Ledezma is the public face of Exxon in Mexico. As his family gathers at his vacation home in coastal North Carolina, seventeen anti-fracking activists remain missing in Mexico. The truth behind their disappearance will set off a chain of events with shocking repercussions for Ernie and his entire family. A contemporary riff on Arthur Miller’s All My Sons, The Forcings depicts a tragedy of power, self-delusion and civilization barreling towards extinction.
