Force is a trilogy of plays: Wanderlust, Threshold, and Convergence. The three plays can be viewed independently or in succession

Told on an epic scale through dreams, travel, memories and magic realism, Force dissects the idea that man is as capable as nature of creating stupendous beauty and awesome destruction. The trilogy juxtaposes quiet details, breakable moments and subtle miracles with the fury of warfare and weather systems through a rapid succession of inter-related, profoundly intimate stories. In a world of tornadoes and terrorism, volcanoes and vanishings, memories and the mundane, Force asks us who will we be when faced with all we cannot control?

Wanderlust

Jack Kavanagh, a former war journalist, lives the ideal life. He has a gorgeous, talented wife, Anne, and a respected job teaching at a prominent university in New York. But Jack has terrible secrets he hasn't shared with Anne. And those secrets stand to destroy their comfortable life together. Meanwhile, a woman's car breaks down late one winter evening in rural Vermont. A few hundred yards away, an amnesiac mechanic stands bare-chested on his brother's front lawn waiting. Their meeting seems a collision of chance, but is instead an event that unleashes secret desires, terrible fears and mercurial longings in the lives of everyone connected to them.

Threshold

The middle Force play, deals exclusively with Anne and Jack. Threshold traverses the topography of their marriage, revealing their respective past lives: his as a war journalist, hers as a respected and promising visual artist. Pressed by a million small nothings, their relationship hits a threshold where they must decide to leave each other or stay the course. Threshold examines the sum of breakable moments that push relationships to a point of no return.

Convergence

Following the aftermath of Threshold, Jack returns to journalism. His travels lead him to Belgrade where he connects with a former lover. Meanwhile, Anne becomes reacquainted with an old flame of her own. All around them, friends and relatives confront similar problems in their own lives. Convergence examines the moment when two lives intersect and are brought irrevocably together.
