a week gone by

it could have been a year, but has only been a little over a week. the show has closed and last night I sat down with my notes, the prompt book and the feedback of our stellar actors/crew from post-mortem... it was a great revision session. i thought I would write whole new scenes, people had mentioned they wanted more... it is a one-act. what more could I give? it such a short play so much is revealed and so much is explored. I believe the length is perfect. tightening the story, the lines, the characters were key.

we evolved the script in such a short time... beginning back in October 2006. our first read-thru. the course of events unfolded over the next couple months and in February 2007 we presented a fine piece of art. "A/other Lover". beyond my wildest dreams. it could not have happened without everyone involved.

it's funny, though because I put down my script early on in rehearsals so that I could inhabit the role of director. a play I had written, but a show we must all put on. I remember giving notes on the script, small notes, towards the end. as I look back the notes were mute points. the actor's had a new play in their minds. new words to be exact. if I had them all, I would be a frustrated man.

I look forward to sending this play off, publishing dreams, maybe another company will pick it up and perform. that would be spectacular.

a play about plagiarism, I am registering "A/other Lover" under a collected work titled ALL YOU NEED (4 one-acts on love) with "txt luv", "Love on Planet Telex" and "The Bout".

i'm anxious to start a new project. SYAS is almost complete. LOCKE is being revised.

"what is next?" I say to the muse.
