About the Book

Danse Macabre is set in an imaginary English borough ruled by a powerful and wealthy lord. He believes that his power will allow him to control the lives of key members of his community so they will fit his preconceived ideas of where they belong. (Sound familiar??) What do you think will happen? One member has slipped, or did they all? See this all develop and the amazing conclusion. It's all in fun or is it?

The Blue Yonder is a play about the peace-time Air Force. The interaction among members leads to some hilarious activities which would be incongruous outside the military. A ruthless leader arrives to disturb the boredom and complacency of the Air Force doctors who are fighting to understand the nuances of military medicine and compromise with its mandates. Watch and listen carefully as the clues are dispersed throughout the play leading to the final denouement.

Can you guess who did it?
