Animal Instincts

A full-length drama

Incest is the subject of this highly-charged drama. When her son flunks out of college and decides to follow in his dad’s footsteps, a mother resorts to desperate measures. On a hot night in June, she reveals an ugly secret that shatters all family bonds.

Baltimore’s City Paper said the playwright "...demonstrates a sure feel for the dysfunctional forces lurking beneath the placid surface of this farm family." The play premiered as part of the 2000 Baltimore Playwrights Festival, winning Third Place. In May 2007, it was produced at the Playwrights Forum in Memphis, TN.
