Oddities: A One Act Resolution is a poetic, surreal descent into the mind of a man wrestling with despair, identity, and the archetypes that shape his inner world. Through characters like Donut, Riot, Somber, and Ponder, Shivcharran Hulasie fuses Eastern and Western philosophy into a haunting theatrical meditation on mental health, balance, and self-preservation.
Shivcharran Hulasie is a general pediatrician and literary playwright whose work bridges the clinical and the philosophical. Born in Guyana and raised in Queens, New York City, Hulasie brings a global perspective to both medicine and storytelling. His debut one-act play, Oddities: A One Act Resolution, explores the fragile architecture of the mind through surreal archetypes and poetic introspection.
Guided by early exposure to classical literature and a lifelong fascination with human complexity, Hulasie writes with the precision of a physician and the soul of a philosopher. His work invites readers into the quiet storm of mental conflict—where healing begins not with answers, but with understanding.
In this haunting one-act play, Shivcharran Hulasie, M.D. invites readers into the fractured mind of the Founder—a man caught between despair and resilience. As loneliness and suicidal ideation take hold, six inner archetypes emerge: Donut, Riot, Somber, Passive, Ponder, and Cavalier. Each one embodies a distinct emotional force, challenging the Founder to confront the chaos within.
Through poetic dialogue and surreal staging, Oddities fuses Eastern and Western philosophical thought into a lyrical meditation on identity, mental health, and the fragile architecture of healing. It’s not a story of escape—it’s a reckoning. A single act. A resolution born from the storm.
“Oddities is a mirror to the soul—raw, surreal, and unforgettable.”
“I’ve never read a play that made me feel so seen. The archetypes felt like my own thoughts, named and voiced.”
“A poetic storm of emotion and philosophy. It’s not just a play—it’s a reckoning.”
“Oddities gave language to the silence I’ve lived with. It’s haunting, healing, and beautifully human.”
