This site is being used for several purposes: first, as a place where I store plays and records of things our meeting has done. You'll also see some pictures of the young Friends (and friend) whose band was known in its entirety as Branavan G. and the Shutdowns. The four of them who are Quakers have given of themselves generously over the years, by performing in a string of seven plays, three of which are on the web; the first of those is here, and entitled Quakers rock the 17th century; it's from this play that the site originally got its name. Finally, I'm using this site for Quaker pop art. Why not? The other plays on the web are:
Down in our Hearts (2016) - the story of conscientious objectors in WW II Silly Poor Gospel: Life and times of Margaret Fell (2016) Mor I Xon (2013) - the story of Norman Morrison and his survivors Bartram's Flower (2009) - the life and times of John Bartram, colonial botanist Second First-Day at the Interfaith (2008) - Friends' tribute to our home of many years... The Monster of Kanifloria (2007) - based on a fable by Aaron Piper Good Tidings of Yule (2006)- about a plane crash in Africa...
Thou Heardest My Voice (2005), a play about Iraq The Turning Point (2004), a play about the 1970 bombing of the Univ. of Wisconsin at Madison.
and, Quakers Rock the 17th Century (2004) Formatted scripts for seven plays, including White Feather, The Story of Benjamin West, Quaker Artist, The Life and Times of John Woolman, Quaker of Colonial Times, and The Life and Times of Lucretia Coffin Mott, appear at the So. IL Quaker meeting website. Feel free to download and use them, & tell us how it went!
Note: Friends and others are invited to use and perform these plays, and even change them according to will, whimsy or necessity. But I would appreciate your telling me when and where they were performed; I would also appreciate your listing me as the author, as appropriate. -TL
