The Visitation Quartet is comprised of four comedies by Stephen Evans, each examining the phenomenon of visitation. Ghosts, aliens, old lovers, angels, and other visitors abound in this funny thoughtful quirky collection.
The Ghost Writer, filled with gems from Shakespeare's works and with a lighthearted style reminiscent of classic Broadway comedies, is a fast-paced, funny play that explores the spirit of creativity both mortal and immortal.
In Monuments, an aging Ralph Waldo Emerson, voyaging down the Nile river with his daughter, struggles with memory and memories.
In Tourists, audiences encounter three sets of characters on their own unique journeys:
In A Visitor to your Planet, a boatman working on a beach encounters an alien life-form investigating extinction events.
In Arc, ex-lovers meet a a train station after a funeral and wonder if it is too late for one more change of direction.
In No Surprise, a person enters the realm of death and discovers the travel agent for the afterlife. Each of these vignettes explores a perspective on time, through which we are all only tourists.
In Spooky Action at a Distance, a despondent physicist chooses a Las Vegas casino hotel room to exit this world. In the midst of the attempt, he is interrupted by an exotic dancer in an angel costume delivering a birthday surprise to wrong room. What are the odds?
Taken together, the plays allows the audience to peer into the wild, mysterious, and often hilarious universe in which we reside.
