Part two of Neo-Contemporary Failure is live:

http://Neocontemporaryfailure.com/part-two

Jack struggles; Geoff attempts to thrive.

Geoff is just an average wannabe writer! Join him on a comedic adventure as he tries to find his footing in a world that’s changing around him! (Run-time: approximately 8 hours)

NCF is a 4 part epic about the life and times of Geoffrey O'Doherty, a mundane wannabe writer, and his much more famous and dare I say, more talented friends.

Through the 60s to the early 2000s, he attempts to work himself up into a respected librettist, but he is countered by the fiesty Jack Ainsworth, a much younger and much more successful choreographer.

Oh, and he’s got an acquaintance hanging over his shoulder demanding that he kill himself.

What can you do when you’ve dedicated yourself to a craft, truly loved it and believed in it and practiced it, just to find that you’re simply not good at it? What happens when you have spent your life desperate for an out, and the out doesn’t want you? What happens when the trauma you went through doesn’t create something worthwhile?

Neo-Contemporary Failure is available for free online, at the link in this blog’s bio. Currently, part one is up, with part two to be posted soon! There’s also a one man show that’s related to the piece itself that’s been posted.

NCF is a passion project, and is free to read :-) the website has a dark mode toggle, and the scripts are colored to be easier on the eyes than just black on white.

(Neo-Contemporary Failure is currently in revisions, and will be modified accordingly. The show touches on subjects of suicide, abuse, drug and alcohol abuse, as well as typical homophobia for the eras it takes place in. This piece is not recommended for people under the age of 16 and may include more triggering content, please read at your own risk.)
