10 Minute Plays: 'The Maltese Walter', by John Minigan

The newly retired high school drama teacher and playwright John Minigan is this month’s featured playwright, bringing his O’Neill Award finalist Queen of Sad Mischance. Carrying over from last month’s episode is the mini-theme of women slowly losing their mind and the caretakers who, well, have to take care of them. In this case, its a renowned feminist academic and the student of color who comes in to help her finish her book before it’s too late. In the interview we talk Shakespeare, academia, Centastage’s Write On! program, and more. And do we break down Massachusetts High School Drama Festivals from the early ‘90s? Yes, yes we do. Season 2 of Boston Podcast Players is supported in part by the Bob Jolly Charitable Trust. Also thanks to Patreon donor Melissa Fristrom and The Depot reading series for producing the excerpt. Co-Host   Brandon Crose, The Ordinary Epic podcast.   Cast   Kym was played by Elizabeth Reynolds   Beverly was played by Shaler Wright   Roy was played by Eric Michaelian   Stage Directions were read by Kristen Rowe
