Memories of lost time



Full-length play



Near the start of the play, a character says: "He was dead by the time I got there." As the story unfolds, we learn it is a man's last night in prison after he is proven innocent and is going to be released. The man, and those around him, must decide if a person can remain himself while trying to survive incarceration, and how sudden salvation can evolve from a long time of sadness. This play is inspired by Tim Masters. In 1999, he was convicted of murder and sentenced to life in prison. Nearly 10 years later, he was exonerated and set free.



Memories of Lost Time was part of The Edge Theatre's "On Your Feet" series on July 21, 2012 in Lakewood, Colorado.



It was also one of the two winners of the Firehouse Theatre Project's annual new play festival in Richmond, Virginia from June 28 to July 1, 2012.



It was also read and considered for production by The Distilled Theatre on June 21, 2012 in New York City. These pictures are from a rehearsal and the reading.



Memories of Lost Time was shortlisted in The Internationalists Playwriting Contest in 2011 and a semi finalist for Wordsmyth Theater Company's reading series, also in 2011.



It was also one of four finalists for the Thunder River Theatre Company's New Play Festival in 2011 and selected as one of the top 11 scripts for SART ScriptFEST 2011.
