Zoom Theater 2020 Ed Backes

Twelve short plays, performed over Zoom by friends. Stories with characters as various as Aphrodite, a psychic, an economist and even a talking mule. Some are serious and even deadly, while others, like the talking mule, are light and funny. A king wrestles with intrigue in his court. A poor man seeks counsel from a world-renowned expert. A husband wins the lottery. And a young Mexican laborer struggles with what it all means. Each play has interesting characters, plot twists and usually a resolution at the end. By and large these are PG fare but there are places where the language and action is adult in nature. There is strange language, odd people, weird situations and unusual things that happen. I hope you enjoy it.
