“The Tragic and Gruesome Death of Captain Alexander Fairweather, African Explorer”

Mike Allen as Captain Alexander Fairweather
A dark five-minute piece about why lies are dangerous. The men in a 19th century British expedition into the African jungle stage a mutiny against their captain, and hit upon an ingenious way to keep their stories straight. They have him squeezed to death by a boa constrictor. That way they can say none of them lifted a hand against him.
“The Tragic and Gruesome Death of Captain Alexander Fairweather, African Explorer” was performed at No Shame Theatre in Roanoke, Va. on September 18, 2009.
The idea behind this led to my full-length script, “Fairweather Friends,” which has since been published by Eldridge Plays and Musicals.

In physics, the search is on for a “unified field theory of everything” — one simple (or not so simple) theory that would explain the entire universe.
I did my take on that in a one-minute script called, aptly enough, “The Unified Field Theory of Everything.” Here are a series of photos from when it was done at the Gone in 60 Seconds Festival at Brooklyn College, New York on June 12-13, 2009.

At the time, my son was auditioning and need a monologue. So I wrote him one. He didn’t use it, but the Gone in 60 Seconds Festival did at its UK edition in June 2009.
