Am Lit, or Hibernophilia

One-act drama / 1m

A recently widowed professor at a nameless midwestern college contemplates returning to Ireland in search of lost love, youth, and perhaps himself. Told via emails, phone calls, and old-fashioned letters, Am Lit is a modern epistolary monologue of loss and yearning. 

Am Lit was commissioned by Keen Company of New York City and performed at the Jose Quintero Theatre, directed by Andrew Dickey. Am Lit was subsequently produced in the Ensemble Studio Theatre Marathon of One-Acts, directed by Kevin Confoy. 

REVIEWS

"Am Lit is well-handled and moving . . . the play's final moments—in which Joe ponders his life while waiting for his flight at JFK—are very striking."

—Matthew Murray, Talkin' Broadway

"It's a fulfilling work, splendidly performed."

—Les Gutman, CurtainUp
