Playwright

Two years prior, during the Fair of En'Kara, The Fall of Agamedes was staged in the shadow of the Sardar for the world to see. It was a play about two men, each seemingly at odds with their place in the world; the archetypes of Assassin and Warrior. Famed actors, Locutius and Nikos of Tyros delivered my dialogue to the world. Earlier this year, in the middle of En'Var, The Good Citizen was produced on the stage of the Great Theater of Pentilicus Tallux. It was a historical account, a chronicle of true-to-life events that took place in the Street of Brands District of Ar several years ago, but most probably took it for dramatic fiction. There were four parts. Locutius, again, deigned to accept a part. Turianus of Torcadino, Phineahas of ...Cos, and Alcobiades of Ar were the remaining Actors. That was my third production on Tallux's grand stage, and by far the most successful. The previous two were my first work, Merchant of Ko-ro-ba, and a reprise of The Fall of Agamedes.

The new work, as yet untitled, will feature two principals with minimal stage production and props. If the parts can be filled timely, I hope to stage it soon after the start of the new year. Inspiration comes from the strangest of places.
