A Baker’s Dozen

A two-act psychological drama about survival, family trauma, inherited violence, and the possibility of breaking the cycle.

Jason remains seated in a single chair throughout the entire two-act play as the voices of his past surround him.

“For a play where the central character barely moves for its length, it moves a lot emotionally, always progressing, always deepening, always finding new ways to engage you. It’s all an impressive achievement.”

— Frank Moher, playwright, theatre director and journalist

“There was an instantaneous and prolonged standing ovation and it was well deserved.”

— Audience response
