That Darn Plot!
Author(s):
David Belke
Mark W. Transom, one of Canada's greatest playwrights, is at the end of his rope. In order to fulfill his contract to artistic director and old friend Jo Harber, he has to create a play in one night or lose everything. Half asleep and half drunk, Transom starts putting theatrical personalities he knows into a simple comedy about putting on a play. As the characters come to life before his eyes, the play seems to be progressing well until, unbidden and without warning, Transom's son Lloyd appears as a character
and the play takes on a life of its own. As the playwright struggles to maintain the upper hand, the out-of-control writing process brings him closer and closer to the
heart of his estrangement with his son. Hilarious and heartfelt, That Darn Plot is a comedy about playwrifing, rehearsals, rewriting and rehabilitating reality as well as
a sympathetic took at a creative writer who is unable to connect with the people around him, including his only child. Winner of the 2000 Samuel French Canadian
Playwriting Contest.
