Plays of Near & Far

A mischievous collection of five short dramas, this volume invites listeners into a world where mythic kingdoms, buzzing courts, and absurd moral battles unfold with lyrical wit. The playwright treats the stage as a laboratory for ideas, preferring to test each piece before committing it to print, yet also daring to share a work that has never seen a curtain rise. Each play balances playful satire with a lingering sense of wonder, offering a fresh take on timeless themes without slipping into heavy‑handed allegory.

The opening drama drops us into the glittering hall of a fictional King Hamaran, where a desperate fugitive from an imperial realm seeks sanctuary. As courtiers debate surrendering the refugee to a spear‑wielding envoy, the dialogue crackles with humor and a subtle critique of authority. Listeners will also encounter a bee‑laden royal tale and a sharp, almost absurd confrontation between right and wrong, all rendered in the author’s distinctive, rhythm‑rich prose.
