The Dark Room is a place where writers take center stage and their work has
a chance to grow. The Dark Room is an ongoing event held on the second
Tuesday of each month. The Dark Room affords emerging and veteran
playwrights the space and resources to develop new works. It offers a venue
to workshop plays, novels, poems, or any other written work in a
supportive, yet critical environment.

*ABOUT THE FEATURED READING:*  Would It Were Bedtime, and All Well is a
monologue by Sir John Falstaff, Western literature’s best-loved drunk. It
is, in fact, his first “lead” (principal talk) for Alcoholics Anonymous,
which he has joined in hopes of regaining the favor of Prince Hal, now
Henry V. The situation is necessarily de-chronologized, but then the Fat
Knight is a character for ages - his own and all subsequent. His struggle
to find the foundation of a real sobriety might be anybody's. And what we
recognize as his foolishness, selfishness, and cowardice in his
recollection of some of his exploits is, as in the plays, our own
vulnerable humanity.

*ABOUT THE WRITER: *Robert Hawkes is the author of four produced plays: The
Importance of Waiting for the Eagle (CPT Big [BOX], 2014), Give Me the
Map (convergence-continuum
Tweener series, 2016), The Casual Tree Ward (convergence-continuum main
stage, 2018), and The Silence of Dr & Mrs Caligari (Playwrights Local,
2018). He has acted at many Cleveland area theatres, and is a member of the
acting company and Board of Directors at convergence-continuum, where he
has appeared in seventeen plays.
