A Wonesthesia Pictures Solo Work

FourfromWone

Wone body. Four men. Eighty minutes on a bare stage under a single light.

Written · Directed · Performed by AJ Wone

Lights up ↓
01 — The Premise

Four 50-year-old men shaped Wone life. Those four walk back on stage tonight.

AJ Wone plays every Wone. Four costume changes. Wone lavalier mic. A screen for the clips. The rest is bodies and voices — a comedy with a father waiting at the end of it. The house stays dark, the light finds Wone man, and four lives come through him.

02 — The Cast of Wone
i. The Doctor Dr. Karamo Chilombo

First light of the night. Wone opens in his voice.

ii. Blaxploitation Director Jamaa Fanaka

The filmmaker behind the camera, remembered from the front of the stage.

iii. Actor · Key Grip · Skater Melges Hayes

On the set, on eight wheels, on every story worth telling twice.

iv. The Father Alan Howse

Wone's blood. The last man under the light, and the reason for all of it.

03 — Your Host
David F.
Walker
Comic-Book Writer · Blaxploitation Film Critic
David F. Walker with AJ Wone

Walker takes the stage between each man with a short introduction — a critic's frame, a friend's warmth. He is the through-line that hands Wone portrait to the next and lets the audience breathe before the light changes.

04 — How It Was Born

“You should write a play about these guys.”

“You the only Wone interested in those guys, bro.”

Two days later, the whole play was written. Walker heard it first in an apartment with no furniture. Then weeks later, David invited fifty of his friends packed in a NE Portland living room, and the "four men" filled it. Every Wone of them walked out overwhelmed.

05 — On Your Stage

The load-in is light. The stage does the work.

A production that travels clean and books fast. Your house stays bare — Wone performer, Wone mic, Wone screen, a rack of four costumes. Everything the audience needs arrives in the writing and the light.
