THESE SEVEN SICKNESSES
ALL THAT TRAGIC
YEOMAN OF THE GUARD

Sugarward – (2M) A two-man quick-change biopic about Colonel Daniel Parke, a colonial governor of the Leeward Islands who was assassinated by an angry mob of Sugar Barons in 1708.
These Seven Sicknesses – (casting flexible) All seven of Sophocles extant plays adapted into a longer 5 hour theater event. It sounds like a terrible idea, but it received sold-out productions in both NY and Chicago.
