About The Play
1 male, 1 female. 10 minutes. Unit or suggested set. Suitable for high school and up. A-Bomb Wedding premiered at The Haverford School (Haverford, PA). "...Dorf's witty take on life in these modern times."--Bay Area Reporter (San Francisco, CA)
Synopsis
Two twentysomething strangers, Will and Jennifer, wait in a convenience store for the missing clerk to return. Both have strapped themselves to nuclear weapons and have come to the convenience store to take hostages. Each is in a panic to find that special someone. The clerk never shows--nor do any other customers--and the two leave together, allegedly to search the all-night diner across the street for potential hostages.
Online Playwriting Class Starts on May 21st! I will be teaching a month-long online playwriting class through Writers University beginning on May 21.
Festivals, Festivals, Festivals I am excited to be attending a number of national conferences in the coming months. First up, the International Thespian Festival in Lincoln, Nebraska in late June, where I'll be teaching a quartet of writing workshops and hanging out at the Playscripts booth!
The Locker Next to Mine Now Available
My new play, The Locker Next to Mine, is now available. It's a full-length drama, though spiked with humor, about teen suicide and dealing with loss. I'm looking for a group to stage the world premiere. Could that be you?
Though the one-act version, available from Playscripts, stands on its own (and is perfect for competition!), this play was always intended to be a full-length composed of three acts: Rumors of Polar Bears, Ursa Major and Northern Lights. Look for the other two plays in the cycle sometime in 2012.
