Problem Plays is a series of mixed-technique monotypes that straddle the line between portraiture, cultural biography, and social satire. They are like the Cliff Notes for a Greek tragedy using humor and affliction to reflect, perhaps even diagnose, the human condition. 

The term “problem plays” defines a type of dramatic play in which the salient features concern the protagonist’s downfall – brought about by some contemporary social problem, and their character’s ambiguous qualities – they are almost equally heroic and pitiable.
