Submissions
Exorcism : Gloss
The Other Balcony per Genet
(a scene without distance)
We Balconies will continue to sing our endless songs, our revolutionary shouts and pings:
“Other worlds are possible even in impossible times!”
A Night to Remember
The curtain opens on the cold, wintry Atlantic Ocean.
Gun : Gloss
The gun's power—like theatre's—is virtual in the oldest sense of that word, meaning full of power or potency, capable of producing a result in the future, and by extension, operating in effect rather than in reality.
Eavesdropping in on a Cyclical Conversation : Gloss
A party, a room, a fire, low cushions. Irresolute, iterative, and unresolvable.
