Three Plays for a Theatre of Time George Schwimmer Phd

Three stage plays which employ a dynamic new play structure for the 21st Century that demolishes Aristotle's unities, does away with sets, and chops up time and space. The plays: HAMLET DEAD - The moment after his death, Hamlet reviews his life. As time no longer matters, he reshuffles the moments of his life like a deck of Tarot cards, drawing out one or two or three cards at a time and playing them on stage, singly or all together, in whatever order he likes, in order to fully understand the dimensions of his recent existence. "Five stars! I enjoyed every line and nuance of this rendition. It fills in the timeline of events, making this rendering new and fresh." CAYCE - The extraordinary story of the mystic psychic Edgar Cayce, who struggles to reconcile a life of an ordinary man with the extraordinary gifts he has been given. The Eugene O'Neill Theater Center writes: "We wanted to let you know that our readers expressed great admiration for CAYCE. Thank you for sharing such quality work with us." Other comments from professional readers: "A hell of a story and a hell of a script!" "Your play is a wonderfully imaginative exploration of Edgar Cayce's life, and the script was a pleasure to read." "Extremely well-written." "A wholly original structure." 2014 Semi-finalist, nuVoices, Actor's Theatre of Charlotte, Semi-finalist, 2018 Moondance International Film Festival playwriting competition. O: THE LEGEND OF LEE HARVEY OSWALD - "Harvey Oswald," a betrayed CIA agent, stands on the precipice before his death and tells the true facts of his story. Adapted from the non-fiction book Doppelgänger: The Legend of Lee Harvey Oswald, by George Schwimmer, Ph. D.: "A strong script and fascinating story, with dialogue and characters that are compelling. It feels almost as if Lee Harvey Oswald has been brought back to life and is giving the world an owed explanation, hooking us in at the beginning with his announcement of a soon to be unearned death, and inviting us to listen to his version. It carries through to the end well too, and the inclusion of the mobsters and witnesses add a nice touch." AUSTIN FILM FESTIVAL. Winner in the 2018 Moondance International Film Festival play writing competition. These plays herald the future of dramatic structure in the 21st century.
