Peter Burg, Director |
Burg
describes the play as follows – The potential of boys with youthful brilliant
dreams and grand expectations should never be underestimated. Their future is a
flip of the coin and can take unexpected turns. The dance of two brothers can
lead to the brightest of stars or the darkest recesses of the mind. Who can ask
why of the Fates? What burdens will be carried and what riches will be shared
as they mature? What do they take with them and what do they leave behind? This
play speaks of the many and varied journeys life can take you on. Family is a
journey of a life time. The fates can play immutable tricks that will
eventually have to be dealt with and everyone will have their own distinct
resolution. Hence this play is a glimpse into the lives of Devon and Clint
Riddance an what destiny has in store for them.
I want to thank Nitia Morano ,Claudine Jeanrenaud, Amanda Barnett, Christina Boyce Keller, Leslie Baldwin Archer and my sister Patricia Hughes for their invaluable feed back. Also Cliff Pattison and Winnie Owens for allowing me the opportunity to present my plays.
This
play is dedicated to my brother Richard (Ricky) O. Burg Jr.
