Discipline: A Play

By Gerard Bianco

Compelling!Christopher Kompanek

Meet Harold Jenkins, a sexually frustrated man. Essentially isolated in his New York City apartment, he is helpless against the powers that control his every hour. Hes stuck in a rut of old habits, and thats making things difficult with Lilly, his less-than-generous lady love. But for Harold, new possibilities arrive in the appearance of a mysterious stranger. He cant quite figure out how to respond to this strange person he finds sniffling on his stove in the middle of the night.

Bewildered and confused, Harold is faced with a critical decision: will he succumb to the requirements dictated by the powers that be, or will he take control of his life in the only way he knows how? Harold has no problems taking matters into his own handsand thats part of the problem.

Discipline is a madcap comedy with a sympathetic mix of wit, banter, love, and frustration that flirts with the obsessions that can drive a man to madness.
