George F. Walker’s Dead Metaphor: It’s Alive!

Hot off the presses, it’s George F. Walker’s Dead Metaphor: Three Plays – our last drama title of Spring 2015.

These three new darkly comic plays denounce political culture, individualism, and the accompanying moral depravity. The title play, Dead Metaphor, examines the collision of a politician’s personal and professional lives, complicated by a son’s return from Afghanistan. In The Ravine, a mayoral candidate earns that his ex-wife is living in a gully nearby and wants to put a hit on him. The Burden of Self-Awareness has money at the centre of a dramatic conflict of values. Each of the three plays is populated by characters trying to navigate the increasingly blurred lines of what’s right and wrong – trying to always stay informed, alert, and ready to act for the common good. Or just to get even.

Dead Metaphor is now available for $19.95.
