The Location Trilogy

Thanks to That Theatre Company for making this trilogy happen.

Same Shit, Different Planet

The play is set in the not too distant future. Mankind has set up colonies on Mars and all is going swimmingly well. At least it seems to be until a strange tooth decay problem hits the planet. There is only one dentist and he is very over worked. There is a suspicion that he is granting favours to those "in the know". Martian Toothache is a biting satire on the politics of cronyism. It is effectively a different planet, but the same shit. World Premiere: January 2023, Krudttønden Theatre.


Extremophiles in NYC

After its world premiere in Copenhagen, the play Extremophiles will be read, in public, by Origin Theatre Company, directed by Tim Ruddy. More information is available here
