Be Not Forgetful

On its surface, the play is about a fallen angel going to an unlicensed abortion doctor to have her wings removed and the consequences of that request for a doctor who has lost all confidence in himself and an immortal angel who just wants to be seen as human. The play explores the relationship between faith and choice, starting with a woman's right to choose what to do with her body, but then going even further to explore every human's right to decide what they do and don't do with their body and what form it takes. The play offers no overreaching answers to these questions. Instead, I hope the audience is led to consider respecting a person's right to make the decision themselves.

BE NOT FORGETFUL won the National Partners of the American Theatre (NAPAT) Playwriting Award in 2021.

Act 1 premiered as Larry 13:2 at Cincinnati Fringe Festival in May & June 2017. The script has undergone extensive edits and the addition of a second act since it’s first iteration.

Society’s eye has moved onto new superheroes and she would be living more or less undisturbed if not for one ardent fan pursuing the untold story of our hero’s glory days. Her origin story. But as Kait weaves a tale dark and unexpected, her biggest fan is forced to confront her expectations of heroism and strength while battling similar demons of her own. Themes of trauma and sexual assault.
