Junior’s Play “The Wrong Track” to Receive Reading at Rutgers-Camden

“The Wrong Track,” a play by CHS junior Marlowe Miller, was selected for a reading as part of the Philadelphia Young Playwrights (PYP) Play Development Series tomorrow at Rutgers-Camden. “Pay what you can” tickets available at https://givebutter.com/PDSRutgersCamden.
 

“The Wrong Track” is about when loneliness settles heavily in a woman's heart, idle time can stir up trouble—or at least spark an absurd conspiracy. Strange music swells, blurring the lines between romance and reality. High-jinx meets mystery as love tries to comfort misery on the wrong track.

“I was inspired by 40s and 50s movies like ‘The Postman Always Rings Twice’ and ‘Double Indemnity,’” said Miller, who has also entered two pieces for the PYP monologue contest. “I thought the genre was worth a try, and wanted to make a sort of satirical version of one of those kinds of plots. I was amazed to hear that my play was selected; I almost didn't believe it. I felt very proud and could not wait to tell my writing teacher and our class PYP representative.
