An historic forbidden romance of wild love, this story takes place

freed? And who will capture her wild love?
In the 1980's there were only 4 Billionaires in the entire world.
In 2014 there are 4,176 Billionaires worldwide. This story is
inspired by the Tonk players, a group of billionaires, from the
United States and from China who have fun using their combined
resources to change the world.
Pygmalion is a play by George Bernard Shaw, named after a Greek
mythological character. It was first presented on stage to the
public in 1912. Professor of phonetics Henry Higgins makes a bet
that he can train a bedraggled Cockney flower girl, Eliza
Doolittle, to pass for a duchess at an ambassador's garden party by
teaching her to assume a veneer of gentility, the most important
element of which, he believes, is impeccable speech. The play is a
sharp lampoon of the rigid British class system of the day and a
commentary on women's independence.
A teenager desires to discover the solution to her family's secrets
before she becomes another victim. A horror tale reveals the
unspeakable-that not only women got raped during the slave trade. A
former gang member joins a Christian mission to free trafficked
women, but is captured herself. A reversal of fortune finally
brings a rage-filled alcoholic her heart's true desire. An
ex-offender and parole violator stops the Drug War. A restless
crime lord shows his colleagues precisely how to control the solar
energy industry. These twelve screen-ready tales of dark fantasy,
horror, and adventure reflect possible rather than impossible
worlds. Great stories for lovers of afro-futurism, speculative
fiction. Plenty of monologues and dialogues for drama students and
teachers, actors, screenwriters, producers, and directors.
Newlyweds is a series of short screenplays exploring different
traditions, wedding rituals and analyzing human psychology. Each
screenplay tells us a story that unfolds some sort of earthly
problems that the newlyweds are challenged with to pursue with
their wedding and at the end rises into a happy ending.
