Episode 3: Repossessed by Greg Lam (Stream Here)

We talk to the playwright, screenwriter, board game designer, children's book author, and designer Greg Lam about his penchant for mashing up genres, 90's Vertigo comics, bringing sci-fi tropes to the stage, and that one time Chaplin and Keaton worked together.

Then we hear an excerpt from his play Repossessed, where a married couple discovers that their ideal marriage must be repossessed by the biotech company that manufactured it and implanted it into their brains. This play will receive readings by the Pork Filled Players in Seattle on November 1 and by Fresh Ink Theatre in Boston on November 16.
