Well, it’s been a LONG time since I’ve updated this page, I can see. So, here’s the latest:

First off, it’s been an eventful 12 months or so. In that time, Marcia and I learned that our first play, Who’s Under Where, would be doing a national tour of Poland. As part of the deal, we were flown to Warsaw and put up in a swanky hotel in November of last year to attend a gala performance of the play (Damski Biznes in Polish). I took the opportunity while in Europe to visit Germany for a few days to meet with the folks in our publisher’s Berlin office, and to meet with a few artistic directors to flog our plays in Berlin and Hamburg. Then it was back to Warsaw to see Damski Biznes.

This is the third production of Who’s in Poland; the second one is still running in rep at Teatr Komedia in Wrocław, and we just learned that that production has been extended for another year. We’ve also since learned that the tour will be running until the end of next year as well. This was my third trip to Warsaw, and on top of getting the opportunity to do a little schmoozing and meet lots of new folks, it gave me the opportunity to reconnect with a lot of friends. Marce and I also got the chance to meet Krystyna Janda, the artistic director of Och Teatr in Warsaw, which is currently running a production of our fifth play, Something Fishy (Coś Tu Nie Gra in Polish). We spent some time flogging our latest play, Deadline, which is in the process of being published by Broadway Publications in New York. We’ve also started work on our latest project, the working title of which is Succour. It’s a psychological thriller about identity theft. More anon.

In the meantime, I had an exciting opportunity suddenly appear out of nowhere back in the spring. Three years ago, I auditioned for a couple of different roles for a new TV series, From, which is filmed largely in Halifax. I was thrilled to audition for the series, as it was clear from the bits of script I’d seen that the writing was excellent. Unfortunately, I didn’t land either of the roles, and I quickly forgot about it. Then, out of the blue, I was given an opportunity to audition for another role in the series. It was all very last-minute, and after a quick Zoom audition on a Saturday afternoon, I found out late that evening that I’d landed the role, and early Monday morning I was on a plane to Halifax to film my role in the last episode of season three of the series. Now, here’s the exciting part–if the series is picked up for a fourth season, this role will likely be a recurring one, and I could suddenly find myself spending a lot of time in Halifax. It will be months before I know if any of that comes to fruition, however, so I’ll be sitting here in the interim, crossing my fingers and trying very hard not to get my hopes up too high.
