Stage Whispers

Stage Whispers, Paul M. Kelly's artfully crafted collection of one-act plays, takes aim at contemporary culture with an eye for the absurd, the allegorical, and the autobiographical. His rapier wit slashes open our sensibilities and exposes relationships through dialogue that exudes both pleasure and pain. The actions of his characters run the gamut from harmless to threatening, unsure to determined, adversely affected to calculating and controlling. Kelly's work, although written for the theatre, brings an immediate and perceptible presence to the page. Readers are instantly transported to visual and emotional realms where they are ushered to a front-row performance of the mind.
