Piese de William Mastrosimone

Afghan Woman
An Afghan woman returns to her country to found an orphanage
Bang Bang You're Dead
a resource for dealing with a broken world that's violent, unhealthy, unfair, and beyond the power of anyone to fix except today's generation. The play is a free gift for students to perform in schools, garages, street corners, parks, houses of worship -- anyplace there can be communication and discovery about how we've made the world's violence our own. And how we can change it.
Benedict Arnold
The most sullied figure of the American Revolution receives partial redemption in Benedict Arnold: A Question of Honor. The conquering hero of Saratoga and other victories of the Revolution finds himself in an impossible predicament, his allegiance torn between his British loyalist wife and his paternally devoted commander, George Washington, as his Colonial detractors cast him into a tragic no-win scenario. Authentically detailed and blessed by playwright William Mastrosimone's poetic period dialogue, Benedict Arnold successfully explores the personal and political facets of a great soldier's downfall. Aidan Quinn's expressive melancholy perfectly suits his title role, and Grammer transcends Frasier, lending appropriate gravitas--and some physical resemblance--to his portrayal of America's future president.
Burning Desire
Kendal Moore, once a world class fashion model, competes with heroin for the possession of her soul in Mastrosimone's fugue-like, polyphonic drama. Vivid and harsh, the play is set amongst New York seediness but contains a chorus reminiscent of the classical Greeks that surrounds the characters on stage.
Cat's-Paw
terrorist kills 27 people in protest at destruction of world's water supply, then plays cat and mouse game with reporter justifying his action
Dirty Business
A party girl is caught between the mafia and the newly elected President of the United States

Like Totally Weird
Two "totally weird" teens steal into a Hollywood mansion to meet their idols, a film producer and his leading lady. But these mega-stars of the 90s soon find themselves trapped in a reenactment of a "body-bag" action thriller, a frightening scenario of their own making. This edgy, suspensful drama portrays what can happen when life imitates art--and art is all murder and mayhem
Nanawatai
capture and execution of a Soviet tank crew shortly after the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan
Shivaree

Stone Carver, A
The play tells the story of a retired stonemason who clings to the past, and his son who refuses to look back. When Agostino, a seventh-generation stone carver is evicted from his home to make space for a highway he barricades himself in his house, determined to outlast the bulldozers. In a last-ditch effort to save his father from jail, Raff, Agostino’s only son, arrives at the house with his new fiancée. A battle of wills ensues, putting their already-rocky relationship to the test. Can Raff convince his father to move forward before it’s too late?
Sunshine
The title character is a small-time porno queen who works in a place called Club Paradise where the women sit in isolated Plexiglas booths and talk dirty to the customers. She's the star of the place, has a large following of regular customers and even gets her name up in lights. Two such raunchy scenes frame the heart of the one-act play, an unlikely and lengthy encounter between Sunshine and her White Knight, a disillusioned paramedic named Nelson. Their meeting occurs bizarrely. Sunshine bursts into Nelson's shabby studio apartment one night after jumping out of a van driven by her husband. It doesn't take long before they are serving as each other's analyst and patient, offering advice and telling their individual tales of woe. The anguish level is pretty high. He's trying to reconcile with his wife who left him some seven years ago. She's trying to break from a dominating husband and a degrading job.
