Revolutionary Tales" is a collection of twenty-five thought-provoking stories that take place between the Nixon and Trump presidencies. The stories give you a front-row seat to people struggling to deal with the challenges of their times. You become a witness to everything from student rebellion in the 1960s, the rise of technology in the 80s, to the crazy politics of today. Humorously told and often bordering on the absurd, we see through the eyes of characters dealing with unforeseen challenges they try to overcome. In "The Terminal," a young man leaving the country to avoid the violence of the Vietnam War finds himself in the middle of another war he couldn't escape. In "Fools Gold." a man uses a computer dating service to find the perfect mate, only to find that the computer is only as good as the information it's fed. In "Good Trouble," a grandmother goes to jail and teaches her grandson the meaning of standing up for one's beliefs. "Revolutionary Tales" provides a refreshing look at American life from the late 60s to the present and will leave you with a better understanding of how people handled many of the major issues that affected their lives.

After serving two years on a life sentence, David Scott is given a new trial because of new evidence that has come out, and once he is set free, he thinks that his past is in the past. But little does he know, everyone has someone who loves them, and after he's home and trying to live his life trouble-free, there are things going on around him that he doesn't see or feel, until after one night of drinking and celebrating an employee's four-month party, plus thinking he was about to have sex with one of his many lady friends, he wakes up tied to a chair. And there standing in front of him are people he's given a job or just plain trusted since he's been home, but to have these people tell him this is his last day, his heart starts racing, and his head and stomach seem like they're fighting against each other. But his mind gets clear enough to know that because of his past actions, there would be a hit out on him once he was set free from prison. So now thinking about everything, damn, he never pays attention to his surroundings and never thinks anything like this would ever happen. To his knowledge, all has been forgotten once he was sentenced to life, but now for what he did or they thought he did, the time for payback is standing in his face and in the form of people he has been around and trusted.

A stage play in three acts.It is the height of the "Celtic Tiger" boom in Ireland and Jean and his father work as painters, busily painting the many new houses springing up as the housing industry explodes. However beneath this seemingly perfect world is a dark underbelly of corruption and incest. Jean's shady uncle, living in his attic laboratory, has genetically developed Ireland's first poisonous spider, a deadly creature that is evolving hourly. As Ireland's mythical and cultural past retreats from this toxic world, Jean is bitten by the spider and his ever-distracted and disillusioned father plots the last supper.The Celtic Spider is a surreal and nightmarish examination of the rot that exists beneath economic boom and controversially criticises an Ireland that is losing its soul. Written and performed in 2007, The Celtic Spider, at times deeply profound and farcically humorous, prophesied the doom of the coming years of total economic and spiritual collapse.
