Snake

by Davis Alianiello

There is a snake gestating in Mr. Murphy's brain. This is a play about what happens when our bodies betray us; it is about the dangers of belief; it is about reptiles of the mind, and what happens when they struggle to be born.

  • Playwrights Foundation: Snake by Davis Alianiello
    “

    The community of Playwrights Foundation Bay Area literary council readers advanced Snake as a finalist for the 47th Bay Area Playwrights Festival.

    This script is a wild ride, a sort of marriage of cosmic horror and a coming of age story. Readers specifically leaned into the birth of the snake, which was shocking, delightful, and haunting.

    We hope this play is considered for further development and investigation, and finds dedicated collaborators in its journey towards production.
