About Me

ANNOUNCING THE PREMIERE OF AT BEST DERIVATIVE! Check out http://www.friarslantern.net for details.
Friar's Lantern Entertainment presents a Smoke & Mirrors production of AT BEST DERIVATIVE. A farce comedy written by Jeremy K. Clayton and directed by Ryan Pierson. Here's a little bit about the project:
AT BEST DERIVATIVE: A band of fledgling criminals plan to sell the story/movie rights to a crime they have yet to commit.
True crime is big nowadays. Nobody knows that better than the truest of criminals, Waffle House, and his band of ill-to-doers who have a plan to knock off the local bank on spec. All they need is an inside man, Edwin Sage, to help iron out a few of the details.
Edwin, an aspiring screenwriter/bank teller, is happy to help, especially because he thinks the groupâ€™s front man is a rep from Minimax looking for creative advice on how to make a big screen robbery look â€œrealâ€. Everyone is blissful in their ignorance until Edwin, a tinge insecure about his ability to deliver, consults his cousin, and head of the local anti-robbery task force, Max Heavy.
Oppressed by the disdain of his social circle, the sheer listlessness of his existence, and enough script â€œhow-toâ€ literary principles to fill the vault heâ€™ll probably die in, Edwin is not only a failure, heâ€™s an accessory.
At Best Derivative is a self-conscious farce comedy that sets out to prove that it is always best to be yourself, even when â€œyourselfâ€ is a pathetic loser with no chance at any real accomplishment.
