The Collected Plays, Volume Two brings together under one cover six full-length plays and two short plays by American playwright Scot Lahaie, which range from historical drama to musical comedy. Political and religious ideologies collide in MYSTERIUM, which retells the historical events surrounding the trial and public burning of Thomas Cranmer, the first Protestant Archbishop of the Anglican Church. Existential fears escalate in PURGATORIUM when two strangers wake up in a maximum-security holding cell without any memory of how they got there. In MARY, MOTHER OF GOD, a police psychiatrist strives to identify a vagrant woman who believes she is the Virgin Mary. THE CATTLEMAN'S SUITE is a traditional comedy that pokes fun at the rich and well-to-do in the great state of Texas. MARTYR is an English translation of Pierre Corneille's neo-classical tragedy Polyeucte. LEAR RELOADED is a deconstruction of Shakespeare's King Lear that moves past the psychological portrait of an aging monarch to reveal a spiritual landscape driven by acts of blessing and cursing. The one-act play SIX SOLDIER JUNCTION looks at the atrocity of war through the eyes of the soldiers who were on the ground during Operation Desert Storm. In THE OLD MAN AND HIS WILL, an aging and ill tycoon summons the four people closest to him to divide his fortune before his illness takes his autonomy, but he despairs when no one appears for the reading of the will.
