Description

GUMBO LAGNIAPPE (You've Got to Be Kidding) contains original plays, many with public health themes, but others dealing with our fascinating current political and social climate.

Several plays were written for this year's Spectral Sisters Productions Ten-Minute Play Festival for which the theme was "You've Got to Be Kidding," thus the second part of the title.

A collection of selected recent medical essays, some of which complement the plays, also add to this literary gumbo, as does a new translation by the author of Moliere's classic, "Tartuffe."Together, these new plays, an old classic and some assorted medical essays, offer “lagniappe,” a little extra, to the body of world literature.

This small town, Alexandria, stuck in the middle of Louisiana and two hours’ drive (at least) from any larger city, has the advantage of being like a tramp steamer isolated in the immensity of the Indian Ocean.

We have learned to entertain ourselves on the trip and this unlikely location has produced a host of plays from many other talented, but unrecognized playwrights.

May creative energy continue to bubble forth from this curious location, as far off-Broadway as you can get, but perhaps a bit closer to heaven.

My thanks to those who want to explore something new while supporting an undiscovered author from Central Louisiana.
