A Contest of Wills

by Coleman

A two-act play by Coleman Three generations collide in this 21st century American saga of greed, lust and murder. Will Masters, Jr. suffers the theft of his inheritance, his home and his lover by his own father, a shell of a man corrupted by privilege and fortune. Struggling to build a life for himself in a "sharing economy" that provides scant opportunity, and in a family that offers betrayal, the son attempts but fails to find redress. In a desperate hail-Mary, his mother contrives a most final resolution. In this post-Trump ruin of America, God is dead, and so is morality. Each character asks the same what's in it for me?
