Shattered Reflection
Darren Brealey has completed his next full-length stage script, Shattered Reflection. A story of a corporate psychopath, a strong-headed and educated woman with a Masters Degree in Arts Science and Degrees in Business Management. Her role as the Divisional Manager of the Asia Pacific region for an international manufacturing company for truck engines and farming equipment dissatisfies her career goals. She finds the people she works with boorish and common. Without a tendency to commit to relationships and feel for true love, her only outlet for sex is rent boys on a Friday night. She suffers from mental illness and personality disorder and this is exacerbated by her addiction to a cocktail of illicit drugs and alcohol.
Exit Dark Stage Left
This book holds a very interesting group of plays. Aunt Ethel's Death Notice takes us through the dirty event of dividing up personal items of a departed loved one. Doped Up Deal provides an insight of the not so glamorous life of cash-strapped everyday city folk and the not so friendly drug dealer who won't take no for an answer. Then, it's Happy Birthday, Christmas Bernii; a thirteen-year old girl with a macabre sense of humour. Separating The Dust is a glimpse into the world of two brothers; the gloves are off after the last mourners have departed their mother's funeral service; one fights for his lion's share of the Will and the other fights for his life. Spring is a season of new beginnings but Mrs Wentworth-Brewster feels it's time to spring-clean the tenants of her rooms at her lady's only boarding house. Richly dark and humourous, extreme in its social commentary of the human psyche, this collection of one-act plays will have the audience on the edge of their seats right from page one.
