“ Sbani instinctively brings a sharp focus to all his characters, giving audiences not only a rollicking good time, but an intimate and immediate understanding of humanity.” - Cathie Beck author of Cheap Cabernet

GRIPPING STORIES
Enter the wildly original mind of Mark Sbani through four of his most riveting plays.
Gripping Stories is uproarious from front to back. It gives readers a street-lit tour of Denver, Colorado. From the tearoom of the Brown Palace Hotel to strange blind-alleys off Colfax Avenue. It’s never a straight line. Scenic detours. Ups and downs. Twists and turnabouts. Pay the fare and take a ride on a sight-seeing bus, driven by the steady-handed Mark Sbani.
Mark Sbani is a Denver–based playwright whose work blends sharp wit with offbeat observation. Born in New York, raised in Virginia, Sbani reached his peak in Colorado, settling near the quiet lakes of Washington Park, where the rhythms of nature — especially the flowers he admires and the geese he dislikes — influence his writing. Known for his humor and distinct narrative voice, Sbani’s plays often reflect how small moments shape larger truths. As he jokes, “Writing a play is like strangling a goose. It takes a long time.”
