LOVE, UNREQUITED, IN THREE GALLERIES, a suite of plays by Kevin Six
The
three plays, each set in a San Diego Museum of Art gallery, look at love and the
absence of love with the sometimes ominous, sometimes helpful presence of fine
art and the sacred spaces where it is presented.
MORNING (AMERICAN
MASTERS) (First
Place:
2008 Script Tease of Short Plays)
A love affair that isn't, and might never be, between a museum guard and an arts patron. It shows the love one man has for his job, the paintings in his charge and a special woman who comes to visit every Tuesday. It is full of propriety, and much of the best dialogue is unspoken.
AFTERNOON (ASIAN GALLERY) (Honorable Mention: 2008 Script Tease of Short Plays)
There is a little role reversal as two men try to understand why two women aren't more demonstrative. Two couples talk about all the mundane things that middle aged couples talk about. There is something missing and the men want to know where it went - if it was ever there in the first place.
EVENING
(EUROPEAN GALLERY)
A
low-budget wedding with all the elements: artist bride, nerdy groom, comic
book-loving best man, art lover, art work and a little help from the other side.
The young couple shares only the love of a painting with the odd man who sits in
front of Apollo and Daphne. A transformation before the couple can be happily
married, but will it happen?
