The Green Game (click to open the play)
by M. Stefan Strozier, music by Paul L. Johnson (ISBN: 978-1-934209-66-0), is a Brecht-like play (anti-Capitalism, songs, elaborate dance routines). The songs: The Hands of Fate, p. 2, p. 3, p. 4, p. 5, p. 6; The Raging Nights Boil, p. 2, p. 3; Irish Tango, p. 2; Now We've Gone, p. 2, p. 3; Le Masque, p. 2, p. 3, p. 4, p. 5; I Have a Final Lesson, p. 21. This play is a true tragedy, the songs are excellent, there are several important dance routines, and choral odes modeled after Euripides. After the Off-Broadway production of this play, I did a major re-write of this play (as I do with all my plays), and this time I really hit my mark. Click to purchase the script.
