The Death of a Judge

 

Death of a Judge

Death of a Judge was adapted for the stage and screen from Leo Tolstoy's novella "The Death of Ivan Ilych". Death of a Judge was presented as a work in progress with film in April of 2003 at The Kraine Theater.

Pilgrims

 

Pilgrims

Pilgrims was adapted for the stage from three stories out of Elizabeth Gilbert's book, Pilgrims. Pilgrims played to virtually sold out houses at the Greenwich Street Theater in March and April of 2000, with continued runs at the Tribeca Playhouse in January and April 2001.

Still/Waiting for Lefty Still/Waiting for Lefty  

Still/Waiting for Lefty

Performed at the Tribeca Playhouse in March of 1999, Waiting for Lefty tells the rousing story of a New York Taxi Cab Union in the economic turmoil of the Great Depression. In Water's adaptation, excerpts from Clifford Odets' testimony before the House Un-American Activities Committee are interwoven into the fabric of the play, juxtaposing Odets' own naïve idealism of the American labor movement with his "naming of names" during the Communist witch hunt 15 years later.
