QUAKE, by Melanie Marnich.
About a girl who goes on a journey to find “the big love”
and the serial killer by her side (kind of).
Playscript copy:
Lucy is on a cross-country mission, looking for the love of her life. Her journey takes her across the American landscape, through hilarious and eccentric relationships in which time and emotion pass in a warped instant. When her quest becomes intertwined with that of a quirky female serial killer (an astrophysicist gone bad), the landscape changes once again, as they cross state lines and faultlines, exploring the geography of the human heart.

QUAKE was my senior project in college at the University of Montevallo. My only play (so far!) that I have done that was written by somebody else. I love her surrealist and challenging stage directions and poetical story about finding love within oneself, even after being cast aside by others. I have a special place in my heart for this show because she was at the start and end of college career and got me through the worst of it. Thanks, QUAKE, for rocking me to my core.
