Short Play: Clippings
This piece was performed in a showcase with Net Curtains at the Tricycle Theatre (23 October, 2005).
It is England poised on the brink of a new day with a bill about to be passed through parliament that will abolish the monarchy. Unfortunately, 15 year old monarchist Mark would do anything to keep them in place, including sacrificing his life for the cause. In 3 intersecting monologues, we witness Mark and politician David's thoughts the day before the bill is presented with Mark's mother Susan's thoughts in the aftermath of her son's actions. Embracing the idea of what is a hero, we see the journey of a mother, her son and a cutting edge politician in a world of pride, regret and final judgement.

This is the world of Marie, a young white girl destined to be a IGA bottled blonde, Kyle, a young Metis male with the dream of leaving town for university, and Harland, a Native male of the same age who is content to have no dreams beyond smoking and drinking. In a world where the poor have only the poor to turn to, these three friends are bound together by circumstance and a secret that could destroy their dreams.
