Fertile Ground, Day 1



True Love and Other Noncommunicable Diseases

A monologue, with video accompaniment (But remember, "Movies are fake.").  A memoir about love and movies and cancer.

I got in a couple of views of the monologist, and a couple of the audience members.  I would have liked to have worked on hands, but they kept moving.






















The High Captain

A farce, about the crew of a wrecked oil tanker marooned on a desert island.  Their captain has drunk himself to death and is now nothing more than a skeleton, and the remaining crew is too busy getting high on gas fumes to deal with actually surviving.  Or getting rescued.  But they have managed to create a government.  Several layers of government, with the attendant committees, and forms, and holidays.  They have a national anthem, in which they all, including the skeleton, dance (and the skeleton provides percussion).  And they hold an election.  And elect, democratically, a despot.
