Jimmy is an artist. His dad, Brute, is a butcher with short, stubby inartistic fingers. In Boy Slaughter, Jimmy relives growing up in a small town with big characters and his desperate escape from it all.

This script is a wild ride which dives into the messy relationships, power, survival and the strange things people can do when they are pushed to far. It is the kind of story that gets under your skin. 

Magda’s Fascination with Wax Cats is a wild ride through feral country filtered through Magda's foggy glasses. It's poetic and unpleasant, sensual and scary and puts a beautiful frame around a brutal life. It's a play for escapists, curious cats and anyone who's ever run away with their imagination until reality catches up.
This is Magda's rude awakening from third to first person.
