Death can take on many guises: owl, eagle, groundling, human,
plague, storm, and now, Crow. Kyp and his bedraggled band have come
through so much, but now they face a new enemy: their own kind.
They are being hunted down, methodically and relentlessly. Kuper
has drawn hundreds of thousands with his vengeful dogma. They call
themselves the Collection, and they are very, very angry. Kyp's
wits and his extraordinary flying skills have never been more
tested. He faces a storm of epic proportions, and the fate of each
and every Crow hangs in the balance. There is nowhere to hide. The
Collection is coming.
Titus Maccius Plautus' career is on the decline. Once renound for
bringing Greek comedies to the Roman world, now he struggles to
stage a single play. Unlucky with money and unlucky in love,
Plautus faces the world with wry dignity. This could be the
performance that brings back fame and fortune, or the one that ends
it all.Engaging, thoughtful, and funny, The Comedian dives into the
rough and tumble world of arts in its infancy. Clem Martini draws
on his talent and experience to bring to life the signs and sounds
of a world where playwrights suffered and succeeded, but mostly
suffered.
Absurdity reigns in multiple award-winning author and playwright
Clem Martini's newest collection of work, "Martini with a
Twist"--five plays spanning two decades of Martini's career, from
1989 to 2009.
A lonely elephant handler befriends the half-blind woman who
drove through his yard, a severed head in a suitcase life support
system is given a second chance at life, a quiet shut-in wrestles
with the jealous ghost of his wife, a young woman with the ability
to smell lies struggles to make new friends, and a mismatched pod
of whales in the Pacific Ocean struggle with identity, love, and
interspecies dating. With a sharp tongue and impeccable comedic
timing, Martini's characters resonate beyond their impossible
situations, their fears and hesitations all too human.
"The Greek Playwright "outlines the major playwrights of the
ancient Greek era, their major plays, and the impact they had on
our modern understanding of drama. Clem Martini weaves his direct,
informative, and entertaining style through centuries of dramatic
evolution to show us exactly what the first dramatists have to say
to contemporary playwrights.
