Octopus

Octopus

Steve Yockey

Samuel French, Inc
2008
pokkari
5m / Dark Comedy / Unit set After young couple Kevin and Blake engage in an adventurous and hastily planned night of group sex with the older, more "experienced" Max and Andy, they are left trying to salvage their relationship from a pummeling mix of jealousy, betrayal, telegrams from a soaking wet delivery boy and a ravenous sea monster from the ocean floor. This universal love story rendered through a post-modern gay lens slips from domestic comedy into a darkly fantastic fable examining the role and depth of commitment in relationships and what it really means to say the words "I love you." "A fiercely imaginative and finely tuned new voice...Smartly observed and blissfully performed...[Octopus'] tentacles tickle the funny bone, awake the mind and tug on the heart." - San Francisco Chronicle "An evening full of arresting images...classic tragedy seen through a very contemporary ironic lens" - Marin Independent Journal "This tale of two gay couples' group sex fling and its serious consequences arrives at a powerful statement about illness and love." -Variety

2008
pokkari
5m, 4f / Comedy / Unit set Join the exploits of a band of mismatched cartoon stereotypes on a wild ride through this animated world, Presented in the style of a Commedia dell'Arte scenario gone berserk, Cartoon is a devilishly violent social commentary that explores the rapid coalescence of media, politics and consumer giants. A young, idealistic upstart named Trouble steals the giant hammer that Esther, the bratty dictator, uses to maintain a monotonous but peaceful order. Chaos ensues. Bombs explode. Puppets are set free. Anime girls fight. And as the bodies pile up, the violence begins to creep off the stage and into the audience. There's nothing like a punch in the face to really get the blood moving. "Fast-paced, funny, and drenched in pop culture. If you see only one play about cartoon characters killing each other this year, make it this one." - East Bay Express "Yockey's piece plays like an Eastern European communist-era political comedy, with farce and cruelty artfully intermingled to create horrifying situations...whose frequent leaps from cartoony cuteness to over-the-top violence are both shocking and hilarious." - LA Weekly "Cartoon poses profound questions with every laugh...it will leave you thinking and discussing the play for the remainder of the evening." - Backstage "At its core, Cartoon is a response to society, to violence, to corrupt leadership, and to twisted romance..." - TheatreForum Magazine "The play slowly reveals itself as being more than just a wacky comedy about violence in the media...it speaks to a deeper, darker truth about people's ability to turn on one another without visualizing the cost of that betrayal. It is in these moments that CARTOON shines." - TheatreForum Magazine

From the darkly comic to the starkly distressing, these uneasy little plays are tightly wound, structurally adventurous glimpses into some of the most simultaneously intimate and harrowing moments of everyday life.

Comedy / Casting: 4m, 3f An incisive look at sex, love, bullfights, big-game hunting, and intimate apparel. Large Animal Games takes a skewed but razor-sharp look at relationships by examining the romantic lives of several couples and the man who supplies each of them with intimate apparel. "Light-hearted...subtly related themes of animal-lust, competition, self-image and possession cleverly at work...well-honed, true-to-life-repartee" -SF Bay Guardian "Light and smart...there are lots of clever plays out there...but Large Animal Games is a little bit different--and a lot more enjoyable" -Berkeley Daily Planet "Smart...witty...[Yockey's] brightest and most open-hearted work" -Creative Loafing "Compelling...desire gets carnal in Large Animal Games" -East Bay Express

The second half of the collection is comprised of the work very still & hard to see. This short play cycle recounts the history of a cursed hotel and the unfortunate guests who stay there. From riding in an erratic elevator and dealing with possessive ghosts to managing an ever-expanding hole in the floor armed only with gleaning supplies, these encounters with the unknown chillingly collapse the distance between the real and the surreal and remind us that, sometimes, bad things do happen for a reason.
