Craig has written several plays with his writing partner Jill Joyce.  They are available for production, please contact Craig or Jill at  craig@ideariffic.com

For all you Artistic Directors out there, we have two plays available and ready for the stage:

Sports Car

Sports Car is a one-act comedy for two actors, about mid-life crisis.  It won first prize in the  National Playwriting Competition , the Solange Karsh Gold Medal and the Birks Gold Medal.  It requires minimal staging and centers on a middle aged man dealing with the lost opportunities in his life and his aggressive and impractical plan to recapture his lost youth.  His wife, lovers and teenage girl next door are all played by one actress. 

Obstacles

Bob, Frank and Mary are three people destined to keep meeting in those odd moments when daily life takes an unexpected turn.  A self-help group, a hostage bank robbery or a hermit with a nagging ex-wife are just some of the situations that they have to deal with each other and invariably, at least one of them dies horribly.  Obstacles is a full-length dark comedy, for three actors with simple staging and an unconventional structure. The parts of Frank, Mary and Bob were originally read by David Thomson, Kirtsen Williamson and Tom Jones at the Playwrights Theatre Centre  in Vancouver, directed by Chapelle Jaffe.
