David Koren's Playwriting Work
If you're unfamiliar with my plays, you may want to start small. No More Beets is a good intro to my work.
The Corps(e) of Discovery
a full-length play (approx. 2 hours)
A contempory, multi-media retelling of the story of Lewis & Clark, told using a variety of modern styles and genres from television, film, and theatre.

The Birth of Something Nasty
a screenplay 
The employees and other denizens of a record store are forced to contend with change, birth, and parasitic infestation.

A Bloated Sense of Self Importance
a full-length play (approx. 2 hours)
A corrupt consulting company in a claustrophic Midtown Manhattan office explodes when the secrets of its owners are revealed.

The Connoisseur of Chaos
a full-length play (approx. 2 hours)
A young man returns to a dance club eight years after it has closed to find three strange but familiar women sitting, eating pizza, and worshipping an absent god. 

The Falling Moon
A comedy on serious themes for young audiences (60 minutes) 
Three princes must stop a senseless war in order to save the world from being destroyed by a suicidal moon.

Quazimodo!
A tragedy with jokes, based on Hugo's Notre Dame de Paris (70 minutes)
A modern, anachronistic adaptation of the Hunchback. The gargoyles talk, but they don't sing or dance. Nothing like Disney.

The Heir to the Throne
A full-length play (80-90 minutes)
My first play, about a man who cannot contend with the confusing mess his life and the modern world has become. Expressionistic.

Other Works
Short plays and monologues, including No More Beets, Mushkin, Shopping at Colonus, and Cruel Theatre.
