A stark comedy about a poor woman and two men
selling roses in an abandoned park while the final war of mankind
rages in the city around them. The past, the present and the future
collide in the symphonic cacophony of war, breakingdown the barriers
of primal need, revealing the main and intangible point of this
life we lead.

CRUX was first presented as a staged reading
as part of Glasslight Theatre Company's Autumn Writes reading
series. It had a subsequent reading for Horse Trade Theater Group's
LAB series.
Much of the material for the play was formed while working with
the Glasslight Theatre Company's New York writers group.
Without this writer's group, the support of Glasslight,
and the hours spent with Ms. deBessonet this play would not be
the play that it is today. I am very thankful and indebted to
all those involved. This play has definitely made for some interesting
conversations. - Joseph Langham |
