Wish List
While I've been fortunate enough to do many of the scripts I've desperately wanted to, there are always some that still sit out there waiting. So, I thought I would list a few of the "someday I'm gonna do that" shows on my list. But what I would really like to hear is your list of shows you would someday like to see.
Hysteria by Terry Johnson--This show begs to be done, but the technical requirements take it out of our current space.
Dr. Faustus by Christopher Marlowe-- I've done it once, but I would love to try again to capture a hip, coold dark cyberpunk world for this classic, replete with fantastic clowns and acrobats.
Bartholomew Fair by Ben Johnson--What a great, earthy and bawdy romp for a fair. The characters are broad and memorable. This is something that should be down outdoor with the scent of a barbecue wafting in the air.
Randy Newman's Faust--Well, I'm not normally a big musical fan, but this show has the kind of humor and energy you've got to love. Plus the music careens around so many different styles that it stays fresh.
Bash by Neil Labute--Course I have to convince myself that the audience won't be reduced to searching for razor blades. Definitely not an upbeat show.
