ALAN LESTER BROOKS, Playwright
Alan Lester Brooks is a physician by profession and an author by preference. Born in 1942, he grew up with a great awareness of the events in Europe in that decade and beyond. As his surviving relatives came to America from Europe, he met and grew up among the brothers and sisters of the characters in this play. While attending Pomona College, though a premed student, he developed a special interest in political science and philosophy. He attended UCLA School of Medicine, and, after an internship, was sent to Vietnam as Lieutenant Commander in the US Navy. There he witnessed first hand the miseries of war, poverty, starvations, deprivation and human degradation while tending to civilian Vietnamese casualties. As a physician Dr Brooks has had a special interest in the developing world, teaching abroad extensively. Dr Brooks has been developing A Splintered Soul for more than five years. The play has been presented as staged readings at Albee’s New Frontiers Playwriting Festival in Valdez Alaska in 2005, at the International City Theater in Long Beach in 2005, and at the Odyssey Theater in Los Angeles in 2006. It won the Moondance International Film Festival award for the best full length stage play drama in 2005. A full production was presented at the Odyssey Theatre in 2007. We are honored to have this newly developed version presented at Theater 3 in this Off-Broadway production. The story comes from a condensation of the author’s experiences, and is, in many ways, is a metaphor for the events in Israel today. However, the situations and ethical dilemmas presented have universal applications. Dr Brooks is also author of a book of fictional political philosophy , “UNITY (A Futurists Fable)” published in 2002. www.foundationofunity.org
