The Learning Plays

By Beau Ryan McCoy

A raging psychotic sporting a Bowser mask. A rock star fairy addicted to, and hoarding, his own dust. A witch battling her maternal impulses. A group of men participating in the first human cockfight on record. Saint Valentine. A mother burying her 108 children.Exploring his imagination with mindfulness and deep, wondrous curiosity, Beau Ryan McCoy presents the first major collection of his works entitled 'The Learning Plays'. Taking this cue from the early works of Bertolt Brecht (which he referred to as his Lehrst?cke), McCoy presents for the first time eight of his earliest signature works, in addition to a series of small, exploratory scenes / monologues which he lovingly refers to as his Toy Plays. McCoy is a firm believer in the nature of play and its essential role in the theatre, and his works here demonstrate that playful attitude time and time again.A wide range of characters await you, in a plethora of fantastical, strange, bizarre, and wholly unique settings and situations. Welcome to the Learning Plays.Contents: The Queen Queenie, The Waiters, Cockfight, Video Joint, The Hummingbird Punches the Clock, Dust, 108, F, or; Chariot Sounds.
