By Alice Carroll
Writing years later in a fictionalized play I was able to examine a heart wrenching ego destroying divorce in a humorous scenario. After 25 years as a wife I was cast aside. Rejected and harshly evaluated by my husband. My two children were in college. I was alone, but not for long.The Greek tragedy opened an entire new world, it was gradual. I found my new self when I wasn't looking. My play, “ Marsha's Mess” was my break out look at personalities in a wacky fantasy. It had a dramatic reading by Rockhurst students once it won the workshop. It was a play of 30 minutes. I was urged to add more and did. Perhpas it's time to return.
