Excerpts from Mark N. Grant's "A Motley to the View"

A montage of excerpts from "A Motley to the View," a 35-minute music theater piece about a man mentally undone by his deceptions toward the women in his life. Written and composed by Mark N. Grant. A contemporary reimagining of Shakespeare's 110th Sonnet:

Alas! 'tis true, I have gone here and there,
And made my self a motley to the view....
Mine appetite I never more will grind
On newer proof, to try an older friend,
A god in love, to whom I am confined....

The women are Sam's wife Anne; his mistress Renee; and, in his romantically idealized memory, a childhood playmate from his past also named Ann. (Dialogue audio is spotty: best advice is to turn the volume WAY up).
