Thou Heardest My Voice, and six other plays is a collection of seven original scripts: they still have the names of the performers on them. They were written for and performed by the young Friends of Southern Illinois Friends Meeting. They have some typos, too, or in some cases, my notes are scrawled on them. This is not a publication, it's a collection; I've decided to clean them up for possible publishing, later, but in the meantime, this represents both what we performed and what could be used in some form or another in any play. From most recent to first, there is Thou Heardest My Voice (2005), a play about the Iraqi war, based on the book of Jonah; Quakers Rock the 17th Century (2004), a play about early Quakers; Turning Point: The story of the bombing of Sterling Hall (2003) (Univ. of Wisconsin-Madison, in 1970), The Life and Times of Lucretia Coffin Mott (2000), The Life and Times of John Woolman (1999), The Story of Benjamin West, Quaker Artist (1998), and White Feather (1997). The early ones are quite short and reflect the fact that at the time we had very few young Friends in the meeting. More recent ones are longer, more involved, and many are on the web, connected from here. They are available for cost of printing and postage, quite reasonable: Contact me!
