Bigfoot Dreams
Vera Perl, the bright, edgy heroine of "Bigfoot Dreams, " is the star reporter of a sleazy supermarket tabloid. At work, she conjures up stories about UFO sightings, miracle cures in garden vegetables, evidence of life after death, and the ever-popular Bigfoot. At home, she contends with a precocious daughter, and errant husband, and her own fantasies. It all works well enough it she doesn’t think too deeply. But then one day Vera discovers that one of the stories she’s invented has turned out to be true in ways she never could have dreamed.
The Glorious Ones
The Glorious Ones travel the length and breadth of seventeenth-century Italy, playing commedia dell’arte in the streets and palaces with equal vigor. Founded by the ingenious madman Flamino Scala, the small company of players endures kidnappings and passionate affairs, cabals, riots, disgrace—all manner of triumph and hardship. Pantalone the miser, sunny Armanda the dwarf, gossip-loving Columbina, and evil-minded Brighella view their myriad shared adventures through markedly different eyes. Yet not one of them is prepared for the strange twisting of the road brought about by the mysterious arrival of Isabella Andreini, who has come to direct their wayward troupe. The Glorious Ones was adapted into a musical with the same title.
