As our two romancers get to know each other better, however, they soon find their fantasies going off the rails. The Asexual Romance Fantasy Play is an examination the stories we tell ourselves about romance, and a reckoning with the very real consequences those stories have. The Asexual Romance Fantasy Play was developed by ISO(lated) [then called "In Time I See"] in mid-2020 and then by the New Cosmopolitans in late 2021. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/626ec6d74b4c18110bc0ee49/ca6e57d7-8d8b-4558-8361-c820aeec3375/Individual_Book_Cover.jpeg The Plays I'm Writing America wants out from the United Nations. The United Nations puts a lot of value on that word, United. Both put a lot of value in their way of looking at the world, and both want to convince the other of their point of view. Examining the tensions between collectivism and individualism, Individual also explores how the greater discourse and the way we live our day-to-day lives intersect and pull at each other. Individual has been developed with Sandcastle Theater Company in 2022. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/626ec6d74b4c18110bc0ee49/7d7d943c-5acc-4a69-b391-77b110826d12/All+The+Sex+I+Want.jpg The Plays I'm Writing A bedroom, a seedy bar, a public park; and everywhere in between. All The Sex I Want is an ensemble exploration of what the word love can mean to a variety of people, focusing on the myriad relationships we all have with sex. For some, it’s the end-all-be-all of relationships, for others, it’s almost a non-issue. Sometimes it hurts, sometimes it’s bliss. Sometimes we find people on our wavelength, and sometimes we don’t. It’s all part of life. It’s all part of All The Sex I Want. All The Sex I Want was developed in 2018 by National Queer Theater, whose team said "Writing with humor and earnest resolve, Ben tackles asexuality in a totally unique and groundbreaking way that we hope will change the way theater audiences understand gender and sexuality for years to come. The creativity of content and form here meet to present a bold new vision to the American stage- pay attention to the work of Ben M. Jones!" https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/626ec6d74b4c18110bc0ee49/3118a381-27c0-4489-98cc-170f9490465b/Ace+In+The+Hole.jpg The Plays I'm Writing You meet a guy in a bookstore—because, honestly, where else are you going to meet someone?—and it's going great. You get on. Except you've got a secret. An ace in the hole, so to speak. It's you; you're the ace. You're asexual. He'll still be into you no matter what. No reason to be this nervous. Right? https://www.thebenmjones.com/writtenplays daily 0.75 2022-06-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/626ec6d74b4c18110bc0ee49/16221776-0c7d-44ed-a5d0-56d4baea2ca8/127--Preview.JPG The Plays I've Written A story of the little things; Of seven friends and one right jerk Who party 'round the clock and sing, Who never have to go to work. In mostly metered verse (some prose) This story doth quickly unfold. As sweet as is the smell of rose, A comedy that's fun and bold! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/626ec6d74b4c18110bc0ee49/09afd596-2aca-4673-8163-0dcd56c938db/Individual+%2810+of+16%29.jpg The Plays I've Written America wants out from the United Nations.
