Invited to a "Predator/Prey Summit," Lion, Gazelle, Polar Bear, Seal, Crocodile, and Pelican must decide if they are willing to make peace or tear one another to pieces. Adapted from the short story published in Ferocious Quarterly, Best Laid Schemes was inspired by a work of art by illustrator Emory Allen and a poem by Robert Burns–the same poem from which John Steinbeck borrowed the title of Of Mice and Men. The editors of Ferocious Quarterly paired me with Emory for the issue “Be Prepared.” His illustration was so perfect, I wrote the first draft in one sitting. That was ten years ago. This version includes an alternate ending that is maybe a little less bleak. “Best Laid Schemes” was written and directed by Michael Mau STARRING Sandie Keane as the Narrator, Reagan Prumm as Lion Brian Wiggins as Seal Toni Poe as Gazelle Misti Medders as Pelican Ryan Gaiser as Crocodile Kymberley Cochrane as Polar Bear Aivi Dam as Mouse Michael Mau as Man To find out more about our cast, to read the original short stories, or donate to the show so we can make an unforgettable second season, visit us at ablindplaypodcast.com or on Instagram @mauhausproductions.
