Killing Dante

Synopsis

4m, 3f / Comedy / Unit Set Fortune 500 business tycoon Roger Cabot has given up his power and possessions for a bohemian life in a loft in New York City to become the artist he always wanted to be.

But not everyone is happy with Roger's new lifestyle.

Richard Borman (Roger's business protege) is convinced that Roger's surreal, erotic paintings, his frolics with female models, his cultivation of a Zen rock garden, and, worse, his development of a strange ability to see sounds amounts to evidence of insanity.

Persuaded by Richard, Rebecca (Roger's only child and Richard's fiancee) agrees to a plan designed to return Roger to the man he once was.

In the end, schemes and dreams are revealed, and everyone gets what they deserve in this farcical comedy that is fast and furious and great fun along the way.

This play was a finalist in the McLaren Memorial Comedy Competition.
