My Brother Walt - a play

flippyshark · 11-12-2012, 08:33 PM

This year, I wrote a full-length, unauthorized play, My Brother Walt, about the stormy but vital relationship between Walt and Roy Disney. It had a well-received reading last January, but I haven't yet found a theater group to stage or workshop the show.

With a Phillip Glass opera (The Perfect American) and a Tom Hanks movie (Saving Mr. Banks) also exploring this historic figure, I hope I can drum up some interest.

I posted a long chunk of Act One at my website today, along with nearly the entire revised first act of my Dracula adaptation, Blood of Nosferatu.

See the play excerpts here!

That's really good! I can't wait to see it be made into a show!

Novel, play, you have been a busy little beaver.

Definitely get together a table reading. (And Skype me in!) I've done a couple of those with this play, and it's super fun. There's even a little cameo from Salvador Dali in Act Two.

Oh yes, Moonliner. I'm still going. I'm composing a couple of songs that will connect with the novel, I'm polishing some short stories for the website, and I've got a start on the next book. (Also, I completed my revision of the Dracula play last month.) If regular employment should come along, and it better, it will slow down my creative productivity quite a bit. On the other hand, my power won't go out again.
