Adamantine / Double Engagement / Clean Linen Kathy Campshure

Adamantine, a one-act drama, debuted in Oconto in 1993 and went on to place in a national competition. It was performed by Love Creek Productions in New York City in 1996. Synopsis: When Michael Baxter stays out late after a party (yet again), Laura decides that she's had enough. She packs his belongings and has the suitcases waiting by the door. When he arrives, a discussion ensues. Apologies flow and confessions surface that cover a lifetime-their lifetime. At what point is there no chance for a 'second chance'? When can we afford to turn a deaf ear to apologies and explanations? When can we be certain that it's time to let go . . . time to move on? At what point does love die? This play visits these questions, yet leaves us to draw our own conclusions. Perhaps love does last forever . . . we may never know. Double Engagement, a one-act comedy, was performed by The Machickanee Players, Oconto, in May of 2016. Synopsis: Two strangers meet at a coffee shop and, during a short conversation, soon become convinced that they are engaged to the same man. Clean Linen, a 10-minute drama, was the featured ten-minute play for Atlantic Stage's 3rd Annual 'New Voices Playfest' in Myrtle Beach, SC, May 2014. According to the theatre's website, this annual play-reading festival 'features new works by up and coming playwrights locally and from the country'. Synopsis: A 10-minute glimpse into love-into holding on, and letting go, and realizing that the heart will forever have a mind of its own.
