The -Tempered Mid-Riff

Schism Press presents Brad Baumgartner's THE -TEMPERED MID-RIFF



Portals in time and space open, only to close at the drop of a white Western Gus hat. A twin philosopher and his eccentric sidekick are swallowed whole, only to be spit back out again. Unwitting characters suddenly appear in scenes, only vanish just as quickly. A play disguised as a love story disguised as a "choose your own mis-adventure," The -Tempered Mid-riff tells the strange story of an unusual band of misfit adventurers. It is an intersecting tale of spellbinding love and cosmic voyaging, a brilliant woman and a kind-hearted demon, a sentient tree and a beautiful undine-and how sometimes the best place to be... is nowhere at all.
