What does it matter if Jeremiah inflates the casualties a little bit? As he says, "The living don't notice the dead. They'll take our word for it." Taking his apprentice under his wing, Jeremiah trains Noah in the art of creating lots of something out of nothing. Everything is moving along swimmingly until Noah discovers a locket with a lewd photo and a beautiful widow arrives in search of her dead husband's body. As Noah conducts his own business with the widow, Jeremiah's suspicions grow. He, more than anyone, should know an illusion when he sees it. Then, the North informs Jeremiah that they suspect he is cheating them. However, they won't hang him, provided he can prove his numbers - -by tomorrow morning at dawn. (PRWeb Jul 4, 2007)

Nine playwrights offer 10 plays, each based on one of the U.S. Constitution's first 10 amendments. These pieces overtly focus less on the legislative and more on the interpersonal, from a father and daughter facing a criminal trial to the silence of an unfaithful husband "pleading the fifth" to his family -- not to mention a company of actors yelling "fire!" in a crowded theater.

Lorca, the great poet and playwright (Blood Wedding), arrives in a bizarre purgatory where he must face up to five different aspects of himself: Lorca in a Green Dress, Lorca in a White Suit, Lorca in Bicycle Pants, Lorca as a Woman, and a flamenco dancer. In poetic but ruthlessly honest terms, each plays a role in helping Lorca to accept the inevitable—his passage from life to death. (PRWeb Jun 30, 2005)
