A Brief (?) Moment of Weakness
I wish there were buzzfeed-esque articles telling people why my plays are brilliant, and why people should appreciate them. It seems to work out well for nearly everything else. “Why Redgrin Grumble’s speech on the Dog Channel is important, and … Continue reading
Megalovania and Interpretive Art
Like many people, I fell obnoxiously in love with Undertale shortly after its release. It’s an indie video game, very retro, and strongly influenced by the Mother series. It also has a number of revolutionary concepts in its design and … Continue reading

Wow. Subtle.
I am currently “researching” for my next script: How Shylock Got His Groove Back. So I Youtube’d Merchant of Venice, and immediately found the 2004 film by Michael Radford, starring a couple of celebrities. Here is the very first shot … Continue reading
The Clever Friar
I saw a production of Much Ado About Nothing today. In Act 4, after Hero has her wedding ruined by slander, the Friar suddenly concocts a cunning plan to rescue all. I was immediately reminded of Maria’s scheme in Twelfth … Continue reading
Put the FUN in Fundamentals
I think I’m gonna try something I’ve never done before. In theater, that’s probably a good idea. I haven’t done anything really new since 2011, when I stripped completely naked in an audition. I didn’t get cast (shocking no one), … Continue reading
