Next Year's Man of Steel

David Belke

Characters: 3 male, 1 female

Multiple sets

August 1940, New York. Struggling and opportunistic writer Everett Gardner is given the chance to make a mark in the still infant comic book industry. All he has to do is create a hero. But creating a real hero turns out to be much more difficult than he expects. And while badgered by a desperate publisher and partnered with an uncooperative artist, the task might prove to be impossible. Especially with distraction of the artist's intriguing young wife. But heroes can arise in the most unexpected places... A full length play about creativity, collaboration and every day courage.

"David Belke's script looks at personal mettle and our own secret identities-not the kind that don capes and spandex, but the ones we reveal when pressure's on, when extraordinary circumstances creep up on ordinary folks" - vueweekly.com
