Oh, Promise Me is both a play and a film [www.ohpromiseme.net].  An eccentric woman has died but somehow won’t go away

.In Ophelia’s Mother we meet a fierce, funny mother determined to use the plot line of “Hamlet” as a way to get her daughter to leave her abusive husband.  The play won the Havemeyer Award.

Zone TV begs the question of how far reality TV can go.  The cable network CEO has it out with his staff and the audience finds a new answer.
