Triptych

by Cally Phillips

'A powerful and cleverly constructed trio of plays linked in subtle but unmistakable ways.' In Love is an Urban Myth, we are cast as voyeurs into the relationship of Dave and Sarah and learn that beginnings, middles and endings in life rarely come in all the expected places. In When Time Stands Still, the kitchen sink drama is transported to Mars. Matti, Armstrong and Elaine struggle with a love triangle which is literally out of this world and outside time.In The Other Side of the Mountain, Xavier and James explore the dichotomy between the living and the intellectual Dao in their search for Lao Tzu. And have to come to terms with their own mortality in the process. 'These are intense, engaging and ultimately deeply moving explorations of human relationships under pressure.''‘I would love to see any or all of these three powerful plays on stage, but they also make a satisfying and thought provoking read.' (Catherine Czerkawska, playwright) These three plays while written some years apart, were performed together as Triptych over a weekend in March 2003 and are being published to mark the 10th anniversary of that event.

About the author

My writing career has 'downshifted' from screen to stage to page over 20 years. And now it focuses on digital. I'm in the process of publishing my back catalogue of stage plays as well as working on novels and 'advocacy' pieces. I write short stories regularly for McStorytellers, I have been editor of the Indie eBook Review and now review for Reading Between the Lines. I'm director of the Edinburgh eBook Festival and if that's not enough I'm working for a couple of Publishers - HoAmPresst, Guerrilla Midgie and Ayton Press, all of them with different niches. Spare time - hobbies? You've got to be joking. Between reading, writing and publishing there is no spare time. And I wouldn't have it any other way.
