The Man from Nantucket
by Brent McFarlane

Genre: Drama
Number of Acts: Full-length one act (90 minutes)
Total actors required: 2 women, 3 men

Synopsis:
Les, a university student, is stuck on a paper about famed author Thomas V. Leskett. Leskett's characters are mostly autobiographical and massively well-hung. Is it symbolism? Or just realism?

There's one way to find out -- Leskett's still alive… he's 82, and teaching creative writing.

A journey of discovery ensues.
