MICHAEL DORN MOODY

"The setting is the docks of New York...but, it could be anywhere that fuel barges are coming into port. Oil. It runs everything, greases the machinery of the world both literally and figuratively, and if someone you know handles oil, chances are good he'll die of cancer or a heart attack. And if the job doesn't kill him, there's always a risk he'll be deep-sixed by downsizing.

 

Pulitzer Prize-nominated playwright Michael Dorn Moody has waited for just the right moment to deliver his indictment to the door of the petrochemical industry. The play was conceived...during a stint as a merchant marine officer when Moody realized everyone would be downsized in spite of the government's economic forecast."
