“Bystanders” will premiere in October 2020. Here’s the description of this two-hander:
BYSTANDERS, a new drama
In the wake of a tragic and senseless act of gun violence, two women strive to connect despite their grief and guilt. Zayne is determined to learn if Hannah could have foreseen the shooting, or even prevented it. Hannah is fed up with clichéd calls for “thoughts and prayers.” She has a secret, daring plan to put an end to the violence once and for all. But will her idea work … or might it create even more trauma? Inside a culture that’s inundated with news of everyday shootings, two citizens struggle to understand their duties as bystanders.
As usual, I’ve created a tumblr site with links to research and other tidbits that helped me shape the play.
