ProteusPlays - A selection of plays by Tom Noe

I’ve been a professional editor and writer for many years, and as retirement looms on the horizon I'd like to write more for the stage. Here are five plays which I invite you to read and send me comments on, pro or con.

The Green Gospel

Contemporary drama. A community of Catholic brothers has opened its doors to associate members, including women, and a young journalist arrives looking for a story. He finds it.

Walk-Up

Contemporary drama. A private poetry slam between a young poet and his mentor leads to a harsh confrontation.

None upon Earth

Tragedy set in Prussia, 1730. King Frederick William is a maniacally authoritarian and abusive father to the crown prince Frederick, later Frederick the Great. The prince's battle for his soul leads to death and betrayal.

Stop the Play!

Farce. 490 BC, Greece. Three amateurs attempt to stage a play during the Athenian Dionysian festival. A female playwright who is fleeing the wrath of the gods attempts to direct them. Deus ex machina.

Talk about God, 5 Cents

Contemporary drama. In a series of monologues, a variety of ordinary people speak about their experiences of God.
