RUNNING IN PLACE & OLD DOG

So, in keeping with discussing my journey as a playwright, I present the second and fourth full-length plays I have written. RUNNING IN PLACE & OLD DOG.

They are described as thus:

RUNNING IN PLACE: A budding relationship blossoms between a time-worn waitress, Bonnie, and a much younger man, Trevor, who wriggles his way into her hopes, dreams and emotions despite her best efforts to resist him
