Writer’s Vice
(or The Muse’s Gift)
Desperately trying to overcome writer's block, Sal conjures his Muse as inspiration. Muse has her own motivations. Can inspiration come in the unlikeliest of places?

Reviews…
“What a riot! Sal's most unconventional Muse is a brilliant comic creation and poor, put upon Peggy is the perfect foil for Sal and the Muse's dizzy collaboration. This piece makes me wonder if every Muse is so ruthlessly self-serving.”
-Paul Donnelly-
“This is hilarious! I don't intend to invite my Muse in like Sal does, cookies are not to be shared! But the physical comedy and relatable characters will be a hit in any play festival!”
-Jaquelyn Priskorn-
“Erin Osgood has crafted a terrific comedic play that gets right to the heart of the bond between writer and Muse. Yes, mine snacks continuously too! Whether the Muse is conjured up in a writer’s mind or is the inspiration squatting in the house next door. Who cares? Whatever gets the words on the page – it’s all good. Just keep the cookies and chips coming!” -Enid Cokinos-
