Hello. My name is...
by Brendan Farrell
Brendan Farrell is a playwright/actor currently living in Los Angeles, CA. Brendan
graduated from Bowdoin College with my class in 1996, and has been in productions
such as Shakespeare's comedy, A Midsummer Night's Dream at the Guthrie Theatre
in Minneapolis. I had the privelege to debut Brendan's play with the Pocket
Playhouse at the Studio Theatre
of Villard Hall, on the University of Oregon's Campus in Eugene, Oregon, on
January 30 and 31, and February 1, 1997.
The cast was as follows:

Brendan Farrell...........David Royer
Chad, Kieth, Dad, & Man...........Luke Hamilton
Michelle, Sarah, Allison, Mom, & Woman...........Kirsten Winchell
"Hello. My name is..." delves into the contradictions between the images of ordinary
everyday Dick and Jane's, and their unacknowledged yet legitimate identities
deriving from secular desires and explorations of the human dark side. It contains
biting glimpses of a hidden reality, singing through with the final words of
the play, echoing the title and the first words of the play. 
Brendan Farrell...........David Royer
Brendan (the
lead character), a senior at a small college in New England, has presumably
grown up as a normal All-American boy from a well respected family in a white
house with one sister, a dog, and a white picket fence. During our endeavor
into his raw thoughts and discussions which border on the surreal, Brendan plays
opposite a series of characters with whom he can relate, when considering specific
portions of specific stages in his life. Each character recognizes very few
of Brendan's flaws, rationalizing them and contributing to them with their own
flaws. However, because of Brendan's superficial image, all parties involved
refuse to acknowledge the obvious and ever-present twistedness of his dark side.
Brendan, seeing himself as the center of "his" universe, challenges the nobleness
of his acceptance by the public and private eye, suggesting that the surrounding
social and belief structure would collapse upon recognizing a single glimpse
of his true identity. For this reason he will continue his struggle against
the grain, revealing only the image and markings of following the mainstream.
