Young Playwrights Ukraine began weeks after the invasion of Ukraine. The young writers met every week on Zoom and captured the unexpected and unthinkable in real time. They’ve gone on to write plays that have been performed with professional actors on Zoom, and in theaters in Sweden, New York and Kyiv. These are their stories in the form of 9 ten minute plays.

"Magee crafts a gently sacrilegious satire that finds humanity and humor in Frank's journey of self-discovery, with the unconventional love story that develops between Frank and Daria adding a charming emotional note." —Publishers Weekly Booklife

SAVED is the hilarious, high-spirited story of Frank Tripping, a Midwestern family man and a conservative Christian, who comes to suspect his new next-door neighbors are drug dealers. Frank, living in an evangelical bubble in the mid-2000s, doesn’t know much about this category, “drugs” but he sees it as his duty to investigate. In doing so he steps out of his church-based world, leaps over the cultural divide and finds the outside world not what he was told it was. A satire that doesn’t stray too far afield from reality, SAVED takes place in the years just before evangelicals went gaga over MAGA. Frank Tripping’s journey, a heart-warming hoot, is the perfect antidote for our divided times.

Doug Magee is a writer, photographer, and filmmaker living in New York's East Harlem. He is the author of four novels. His produced screenplays include HBO's Somebody Has To Shoot the Picture. He holds a Master of Divinity degree from Union Theological Seminary, but don't let that fool you.
