    • William Mastrosimone

      William Mastrosimone's play EXTREMITIES was destined to bring him fame. Starring Farrah Fawcett Off-Broadway and then in a version for the screen, EXTREMITIES sparked much controversy as it dealt with the sensitive issue of rape. Mastrosimone made his professional debut with THE WOOLGATHERER in 1981. In 1992, he won a Golden Globe for his miniseries Sinatra, and he received an Emmy nomination for The Burning Season. His play LIKE TOTALLY WEIRD debuted in 1998 at the 22nd Humana Festival of New American Plays in Louisville. His play BANG BANG YOU'RE DEAD, based on a shooting incident in Oregon that killed two students and injured 22, appeared as a movie on Showtime in October 2002. The screenplay adaptation of Benedict Arnold, starring Kelsey Grammer and Aidan Quinn, premiered on A&E in January 2003. Other projects include THE AFGHAN WOMEN, which premiered in Kabul, Afghanistan, and is available to colleges and universities to perform as a fundraiser for Afghan orphans through International Orphan Care. In 2005, Mastrosimone was nominated for an Emmy award for his writing on the Stephen Spielberg-produced TV miniseries Into the West.

    Play Description

    Carter Bartosek, a foreign correspondent stationed in Beirut, returns to his Midwest hometown for the funeral of his best friend, a former congressman who apparently took his own life while high on alcohol and painkillers. Carter discovers that his friend had left the larger political arena in order to run for mayor of this town, which has transformed itself from an industrial community in decline to a high-tech hub, and that his progressive agenda might have alienated certain members of this now affluent municipality. Over the course of five days, Carter kicks through the ashes of his childhood and confronts those people whom he considers to be his extended family in search of the truth surrounding this alleged suicide. Was his friend murdered for his politics? And, if so, what does that say about Carter himself and this bucolic place he once called home?

    Play Description

    At an elite women’s college in Massachusetts, two minor crises emerge during the fall semester: the philandering head of the English Department decides to callously end his affair with a colleague, and an aging professor is caught making unwanted sexual advances toward a student. But in the academic world of the early 21st century, there is no such thing as a minor crisis. For Jacob Freundlich, an English professor approaching middle age, the sudden necessity of making moral choices, rather than just teaching books about them, leads him into a devastating midlife crisis of his own. A comedy about the necessity, and the exquisite pain, of making choices.

    TIME ALONE traces the parallel journeys of a young man convicted of killing a gang rival and a woman whose son — a police officer — is murdered in the line of duty. Both end up in places of extreme loneliness: a solitary confinement prison cell and the silent house of the bereaved. As time itself seems to unravel, their tales both contrast and mirror each other, providing answers to each other's questions — until they find new doors to life.
