Bodwin's download, read and review program is currently under construction.  While we are developing this service, Bodwin will email the .pdf files to interested parties who provide their name, address, email address and theater affiliation and acknowledge their ongoing responsibility to secure the permission of the author and pay agreed royalties for any play production.

Through this free service, Bodwin is only expanding the public's ability to review original plays in advance, without going to a library or bookstore.  All U.S. Laws involving copyright and other protections for the original material of Bodwin and the author are strictly reserved.

Currently, Bodwin is offering the script to Colonel Chabert, an original play, based on the 1832 short story by Honoré de Balzac, produced by Bodwin in Cleveland, Ohio in January 2005. The cast, which included Bernie Canepari*, Andrew Narten, Tony Walsh*, Sandra Manos*, Peter Manos* and Kevin Cronin, was directed by Peter Manos.   This original adaptation of Honoré de Balzac’s stirring fable of the casualties of war was the 1984 winner of the L. Arnold Weissburger award for playwrighting.

 

Set in Paris in 1819, the play tells the tale of a Napoleonic cavalry officer, presumed dead for ten years, who returns to reclaim his estate and wife, who has since remarried and given birth to two children.

Love, honor, error and life after wartime. Is all fair in love and war?
