Original Plays

Devastated at the end of a "relationship" with ever elusive Hiroshi, Roberta takes delusion to a whole new level, much to the dismay of her just jilted-at-the-altar friend Sarah in Hiroshi-Me-Me-Me. A foreboding fortune cookie foretells a husband's faithlessness. Witness a couple descend from supper to sadism in Pause. An egomaniac actor and seemingly reverential entertainment reporter passively battle it out on the red carpet in Montana.

Committed is a work of historical fiction about the last two days of Dutch filmmaker Theo Van Gogh's life. When his highly controversial and vulgar documentary causes a tremendous uproar in Amsterdam and abroad, Theo spirals downward. The play explores the collision of an artist's radical temperament and unyielding vision with modern political realities and the inevitable tragedy when uncompromising values clash. Can friendship, family, or love save Theo from his biggest threat - himself?

"Committed is a morality play wrapped around a thriller with a romance inside. I have wanted to produce this gripping play of politics and principles since the first day I read it!" Crystal Field, artistic director, Theater for the New City

The near future. The world is nearing its end. In a bizarre bomb shelter, Harry, Clay and Luella, British expats, cope by taunting each other with warped games of verbal wordplay and by blurring each other's realities while losing touch with their own. A bleak glimpse at life in the dystopic wake of a failed revolution, where war abounds, words have lost their meaning, and people have lost their way. How did the world ever get there?

This prophetic play that premiered at TNC's DreamUp Festival in 2018, a crystal ball chronicle of today's desperate events, foresaw the disastrous trend toward totalitarian behaviour through dictates and mandates.

"No one gets a deathbed anymore," "It's a pandemic apparently," and more caused Crystal Field to proclaim:

"It is hard to believe that Natalie wrote Occasionally Nothing in 2017. Its predictions of what is happening today in 2020 could have come from a crystal ball. A dead-on tale of dystopia with a dash of absurdity, it reminds me of Pinter and Beckett, gives you a lot to think about."

In the wake of 9/11, Bruno abandons his lucrative Wall Street career to pursue his lifelong dream of becoming a painter.

As his vacillations increase, hysteria and hilarity ensue. Can a marriage-minded girlfriend, greedy guru, financial folly, and one bitchy boss change Bruno's mind?
