The Tempestuous and
Tessellated Tens:
A Mishmash of Ten-Minute Plays!

The Tempestuous and Tessellated Tens:
A Mishmash of Ten-Minute Plays!


Conceived and Directed by Daniel Bird Tobin

Virginia Tech - 2019

This was a selection of ten-minute plays that I directed for the Virginia Tech Workshop series. I chose these plays because they are each odd and intriguing in their own ways. I thought their eccentricities could come together into a fun, compelling evening of theatre.

Inspiration Images

To create a cohesive evening of theatre I looked to these inspiration images.
The dragon was a particularly important artifact in finding the silliness that united these plays.
