"The Cave": an iambic dramatization of Plato’s Allegory of the Cave as a first-time playwright is being artistically snobbish and academically pretentious
"Ascenseur": what happens when four strangers get stuck in an elevator? They run the conversational gamut from art and sex to bodily functions and politics
"The Wrong Play": in an attempt to rid himself of writer’s block, a young playwright finds himself at Shakespeare camp… and at the centre of an elaborate plot to assassinate a rival writer. However, he learns that sometimes the motivation to write can go beyond murder.
"Interviewing Stu": follows a vampiress as she methodically seeks her ideal mate in a dark comedy that explores the modern, metaphorical purpose of vampires.
