TRANSFUSION TRILOGY

This page has photos and info on the TRANSFUSION trilogy - three plays by Janet S. Tiger that can be performed using the same actors on two consecutive nights.

The three plays in this trilogy were completed with a COMBO-NEA Grant. They are:

TRANSFUSION - full-length on one night
and
OH SUSANNAH -one-act
DON'T YOU CRY FOR ME- one-act
together on the following evening.

The characters are two men, one older, one younger and
                                two women, one older, one younger.

A variety of accents used: Southern, Russian, American

TRANSFUSION set is simple, the one-acts require living room decor.

All three plays have been produced, but never together as I have planned. For more info, scroll down.
