DJM Productions Presents' Fever' Starting 5/21

DJM Productions is proud to present the FEVER, a new play by Dave McCracken. FEVER is set on a scorching desert landscape. Under a  relentless sun, two great warriors and mortal enemies, Atrox and Bonitas, have momentarily retired to their corners. Atrox enlists a handsome young soldier to his cause, the seduction and capture of Bonitas.

FEVER is about the battle between good and evil for the soul of mankind. Loosely based on a classic by Sophocles, FEVER tells the story of two legendary Generals who clash in a desperate struggle to win the soul and affections of a young man while determining whether the fate of all mankind will continue in light and truth or wither in darkness and deception. "When you hear that an entire nation has mountains of dead men, you know Atrox is walking through their lands with blood dripping from the end of his sword."

Playwright Dave McCracken's recent adaptation of Henrik Ibsen's Ghosts was described as  "Truly outstanding.  I felt myself deeply moved." by Marvin Carlson in the annual journal of the Ibsen Society of America.  The Norway Times wrote that DJM's Ghosts was "a fascinating experience. This adaptation is truly riveting."  Dave has also written for the stage with the New York productions of Tune In Tomorrow and I Owe You My Life.
