July 7th, 2025 my play in development The Codex of Narma was up on its feet at Cherry Picked: a new play reading series on Fire Island presented in partnership with The Arts Project of Cherry Grove, National Queer Theater, and The Other Side of Silence.
THE CODEX OF NARMA (in development), full length
2 males (1GNC), 1 female
What if the assassination of the President of the United States triggered a civil war and the dissolution of the union as we know it, followed by the creation of the Free States? Free at last from civil rights compliance. Free to un-tell history, untethered from reality. Imagine resistance, despite the dystopia. The Codex of Narma is a timely Afro-Surreal drama about a tutor, mother, and son all determined to get what they want.
In the “Free States” of the Southeast, teaching Black history accurately has been outlawed. But Narma X, a nonbinary data scientist with entrepreneurial dreams, is hired to do just that by Hyacynth Higgs, a determined mother who wants her son to learn what’s been erased. As Narma enters a household pulsing with secrets, the lines between memory, surveillance, and liberation begin to blur.
