The Mishmash Stageplay Collection

The Mishmash is a collection of stageplays. Each piece explores something unique; the erosion of the self ensnared in a grim medieval keep, a satirical self-help guide denouncing discrimination, a surreal monologue set within the mindscape of a protagonist unraveling due to chronic loneliness, a duologue-with-monologues piece authentically representing sapphic longing and the yearning to be truly understood whilst bound within a friendship dynamic, the loneliness a protagonist feels when ill, a protagonist being misunderstood by those around her, of how profound loneliness feels like a dark void and a protagonist wondering what the alternative outcome would have been, the trying to connect with people but receiving only crumbs, nothing, and disappointment as a result, the misplacement of the mask that was once adorned, and a protest against the illegality of tails being docked. Also embellished with some extra scrap plays: a letter to a friend, a pitch about a French New Wave film, a queer awakening, and the suppression of a protagonist’s gay self that she had repressed for years out of fear of being rejected by her loved ones and those around her.
