(2022) (2018 and 2014, earlier versions under the title The Infinity Monologues) Through interweaving monologues, Amelia Earhart, Lawrence Oates (of the ill-fated Scott expedition to the South Pole), and Stephen Hawking recount their unique but oddly similar stories of facing the Absolute.  Each has crossed a line from the familiar to the surprising and terrible.  In such a crossing, something happens, a new insight or alchemy that opens up the universe just a little and changes the traveler forever, making it very difficult to return to the solidity and predictability of the world most of us actually have to live in.  While honoring the facts of history and biography, my play also fictionalizes in order to uncover a different kind of truth, an insight into three very distinct choices.  Life and death.  Beginnings and endings.  What might it have been like for these people to confront the infinite, to long for the immense and profound while simultaneously fearing its obliterative power?  What might it be like for us?
