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.

I just returned from a week long retreat at SPACE on Ryder Farm with some of my colleagues from the Emerging Writers Group. I spent my hours digging my heels into my newest play, THE FORCINGS, which will be presented next spring at the Public Theater. Wonderful trees, food and company.

For three weeks this month I will be traveling to Veracruz, Mexico to research a new play I’m writing with the Emerging Writers Group at the Public. I’ll be talking to academics, farmers and young people about climate change and President Peña Nieto’s overhaul of energy laws which will soon allow US companies to enter the fracking game in Mexico.
