New Work
The Favor - A coming-together of fascinating characters who feel familiar yet strange, who are in deep conflict, and who have the capacity to carry us on a heck of a ride. - Playwright MT Cozzola
A reading at Vortex Theatre, Albuquerque NM, Jan. 15, 2023
Synopsis: Constance flees the demands of her successful business and her politically ambitious husband in hopes of repairing her long-broken relationship with her sister, Leni, and finding some clarity in her own life. She finds Leni, a conservation biologist with a much younger lover, leading a life so extremely different from her own that she’s torn by indecision, heightened by the sad saga of the Dusky Seaside Sparrow, and further complicated by the unexpected arrival of Dylan, her husband.
Blood and Water premiered on September 12, 2019 at Aux Dog Theatre Nob Hill, Albuquerque, NM, directed by Victoria J. Liberatori, Producing Artistic Director.
What The Critics Said ...
"At first glance, Blood and Water, looks like a Sam Shepard knock-off. If you're not a Sam Shepard fan, don't let that put you off. I enjoyed this play more than I ever enjoyed any Sam Shepard play that I have seen." – Dean Yannias, Talkin’ Broadway
"Blood and Water, the newest production playing at the Aux Dog Theatre (and a world premiere at that) is a strong new piece from Albuquerque based playwright Andy Mayo examining the relationship between two brothers over one fateful Christmas." – Zoe Burke, Broadwayworld
"The play’s themes of loneliness, lost memories, sibling rivalry and desperate love combine in a startling study of revenge, betrayal and the possibility of forgiveness." – Director Victoria J. Liberatori, Aux Dog Theatre’s Producing Artistic Director
