Voices

In her thirties and lonely, Deb wakes up in a magic forest longing for something more out of life. Di is the voice in her head. Tony is Deb’s fantasy who plays dog frisbee in his underwear to amuse her. On her command and without a dog. Together Di and Tony help Deb understand she should get cats. But then Tony discovers that it’s not all as it seems in a forest inside a mind as Deb and the helicopter arrived to rescue him.

Performance rights

You may download a perusal copy of this copyrighted play for review. Performance rights inquiries to the playwright at rick@rbws.ca or the Playwrights Guild of Canada at playwrightsguild.ca.

I’m a self-represented playwright so I generally handle rights inquiries for my plays myself. You don’t need to deal with the big guys (you know who they are). You just reach out to me and we’ll start the process and get it done very quickly. If you’re used to dealing with the Playwrights Guild of Canada already, they’re terrific too, so go talk with them because they can administer rights for all my plays.

If you’re a drama teacher working with students and not selling tickets or making money with one of my plays, then I ask for production photos in lieu of royalties. It starts with an email to me. Then we figure it out.
