This collection includes two full-length plays, DAME LORRAINE and HOUSE OF SHADOWS, a long one-act, ONE LAST LOOK, and two short pieces, MIRAGE and TEA ON INAUGURATION DAY. DAME LORRAINE: Picton and Dorcas, ancient now, came to this country with an internal, eternal love that made them blind to the fact that the darker aspects of the elusive Dame Lorraine found homes in the hearts of their eight sons. Their first-born and only surviving male child comes home today after twenty-seven years in prison. Picton and Dorcas await him, thinking perhaps they should never have come here. Perhaps they never should have fallen in love. HOUSE OF SHADOWS: Two baby-faced would-be criminals decide to rob the home of two women of advanced age who live in contention with their past, their present, their future, and each other. The brats get more than they've bargained for, including possible great futures behind bars in Joliet. ONE LAST LOOK: At his funeral, Eustace Baylor and his two families examine the tattered cloth of their lives. They find that if you would take one last look, you should take one first look. MIRAGE: "Mirage," so like "marriage" in its spelling and some pronunciations, is about how much more interesting mundane situations could be if people would only apply themselves. TEA ON INAUGURATION DAY: A tragicomical look at the current state of our country, with a special nod to the American habit of mispronouncing "Nuclear," "Acapulco," "Realtor," and "Inauguration."
Autorenporträt
Steve Carter created "Phantastique" in 1985. It was Australia's first newsstand available horror comic and the subject of much media controversy. After Phantastique's short life, Steve's next newsstand comic book was the horror and science-fiction comicbook "Charnel House". Steve teamed up with Antoinette Rydyr in the early 1990s. Their art and writing incorporates strong elements of Sci Fi and horror fantasy to surrealism and weird satire. As the creative team known as S.C.A.R. they create in a variety of mediums - prose fiction, illustration, comic books, screenplays and even music. Steve is also the driving force behind experimental electronica bands FistFunk Futurists and TeknoSadisT. A collaboration with Ethan Somerville saw the creation of their steampunk western novel, "Weird Wild West" parts one and two published in 2018 by Bizarro Pulp Press.
