On May 23, 2020, Wendi Johnson–the artistic director of Full Circle Players–and some of her wonderful actors performed the first online dramatic reading of my new adaptation of Sophocles’ “Electra. ” I think the reading went well. I’m excited for Full Circle Players to stage the play at the Box Theater in Riverside in October 2020, assuming live theater is allowed by then.
I had the opportunity in May to participate in a live, dramatic reading of William Shakespeare’s “Merry Wives of Windsor” with a dozen accomplished professional stage and screen actors. It was produced by Nathan Agin as part of his “Working Actors Journey” podcast. The show was very funny, despite (because of?) my internet connection cutting out at the top of the play. Things wen’t more smoothly for me after that. I hope you enjoy the recording of the performance below.
Well, it’s not exactly MY book, but an essay I wrote on the “consolations of poetry” is one of the 26 featured essays. The “Coronavirus Collective” is published by a local published called “Last Life Ever.” Written in the first few weeks of the global shut down, various authors share their unique perspectives on how they see the world through the lens of the coronavirus. I think you’ll like it! You can buy a copy on Amazon right now. All profits go to charity.
