THE DEMON ON THE MOUNTAINTOP by Robert M.K. Daniels | March 27
by Playwrights Local 18 Mar '19

18 Mar '19

Playwrights Local Presents A Staged Reading of a New Play THE DEMON ON THE MOUNTAINTOP Written by Robert M.K. Daniels Directed by Tyson Douglas Rand With dramaturgy by Greg A. Smith ========================== Wednesday, March 27, 2019 at 7:00 pm http://www.playwrightslocal.org/2018-2019-play-lab/ Creative Space at Waterloo Arts 397 East 156th Street | Cleveland, OH 44110 Free | Recommended for Adults & Teens Tickets or Reservations Not Required ========================== SYNOPSIS The Demon on the Mountaintop is a contemporary fairy tale for adults. The town of Valleytop sits at the foot of a mountain, above which a Demon resides. The Demon’s only pleasure is derived from cursing the town below. Every generation, the people of Valleytop send up a young woman...not so the Demon will stop, but so he’ll curse them less than he otherwise would. Now, a young woman named Lydia refuses to become a sacrifice, and puts her town as well as the nearby Mountainbottom at risk. Lydia must negotiate not only with a Demon, but with a ‘hero’ named Billy Ray who’s sent by Mountainbottom to save the day. Lydia must stop the Demon, end the curse, and fend off Billy Ray’s advances. INFO Presented as part of Playwrights Local’s 2019 Play Lab An annual incubator program for writing and revising new works For more info, visit www.playwrightslocal.org/2018-2019-play-lab/ # # #
