A Danger to Yourself and Others
“ I adore this play. It’s hilarious from the very first exchange, and it speeds along, twisting and turning and surprising you until the very last exchange. I was genuinely surprised and struggling right along with Eddie to catch up as new reveals are made as the play unfolds. I can’t say enough good things. Read it, produce it. It’s hilarious and smart, my favorite combination. ” --Lisa Dellagiarino Feriend, playwright

When Eddie, anxious and in debt, tries to rob a gas station, he instead falls for the station clerk, bungles a burglary, gets caught with a weapon, evades hospitalization, flees from the police, and has his library card revoked—but hey, at least he meets the woman of his dreams!
A Danger to Yourself and Others is a farcical look at what it’s like navigating life with anxiety, never knowing if the gnawing feeling in your gut is your intuition or your irrational fear.
Full-length play.
“ An immensely fun read that combines the breeziness of a caper comedy with the twistiness of a clever mystery and a more grounded heart that explores anxiety, mental health, and trust. I loved the plot-related surprises along the way and felt sympathetic for and taken in by Eddie as a central nucleus throughout as his night went from bad to worse. I also appreciated the inroads he made in his own anxiety struggles even as his life was very concretely falling apart! A fun and very producible small cast farce. ” --Nick Malakhow, playwright
