For public consumption = My latest play. It's a hoot.

10 minutes. Official entry into Short & Sweet/Sydney and Brisbane Largest 10-Minute Play Festival in the World. "Jessica, Paris, Britney and Lindsay Meet Brett Favre on Their Train Wreck". Copyright 2008 Jeffrey James Ircink. Email me at irc_64@hotmail.com if you represent a theater and are interested in performing it. Performance rates to be determined. Like that's really gonna happen. I just put the picture up 'cause I like what I did with the cover. I don't think you're supposed to fluff up the covers of plays generally, but...I do.

It's funny. An excerpt may be found at http://www.playsofjeffreyjamesircink.blogspot.com/

"The Bed" and "JPBandL Meet Brett Favre on Their Train Wreck" - two new short plays complete!

Over the course of two non-successive weekends, I completed two, 10-minute plays for submission into Short & Sweet - The World's Largest 10-Minute Play Festival, in Sydney, Australia.

"The Bed", an old man's introspective look at his life, was written in the span of about 24 hours while I was in Chicago a couple weeks ago. "Jessica, Paris, Britney and Lindsay Meet Brett Favre on Their Train Wreck", a tongue-and-cheek look at celebrity and a Magic 8 Ball, was written while I spent this past weekend in Tujunga with Donovan, Maria and Baby Grace.

I've had both ideas in my head for quite some time - but really just a one-sentence logline. Sometimes it happens that way. Environment has a lot to do with it.

Wishful thinking for a playwright is a must.
