Carmilla: The Radio Play was produced three years ago, and while the sound is of mixed quality, the performances remain IMHO excellent. We strove to make this as compelling and as erotic as possible. #vampire #audio #LGBTQ #adaptation #playwright #gothic

Very pleased with this adaptation of H.G.Wells' novel. Under consideration for production in Oct! Wish me luck! Apart from making women prominent, this deals with more current affairs. #radio #waroftheworlds #adaptation #theatre #playwright #martians #scifi

A radical, and rather fierce, adaptation of Le Fanu's last story, the first lesbian vampire in English literature! Please share! #vampire #lgbtq #audiodrama #adaptation #carmilla #playwright #playwriting #lesbian #laura #nosferatu #undead #lefanu #vampyre

One of my most topical, albeit subtly so, plays. About a (maybe) cursed violin and viola but really about judging others, oneself, and about paranoia.

One of my favorite one act plays, a 45 minute play in verse re-telling re-imagining the myth of Medusa, entwining it with bits from Persephone. #medusa #livetheatre #oneactplay #playwright #playwriting #theatre #iambicpentameter #LGBTQ

I want so much to make more public my best plays, which I think are quite topical. One of my faves is AFTER THE LIGHTHOUSE FELL. #playwrights #playwriting #theatre #theater #drama #fourcharacters #oneset #chekhov

I am wondering--maybe I should include zoom recordings of plays when I send them in for consideration, as well as the actual script? What do you think? #playwrights #playwrightsofbluesky #playwriting

Have started notes on a new play. A full length dark comedy period piece. Which is a probably a mistake from a marketing pov. www.pinterest.com/dmacdowellbl... #LIVETHEATRE #playwright #playwriting #regency

Two best versions I've seen (out of many): Vagrancy Theatre's brilliant take, highlighting the misogyny & why Juliet fell for Romeo. And a sadly defunct company that did "R&J" in which every single character was gender-switched. They made it work EXTREMELY well.

Mock poster, similar to a silent movie version, of WAR OF THE WORLDS showing a Martian tripod war machine with three legs and dangling tentacles.

Intended essentially as a "live" radio show on stage, my WOTW deals with a lot of modern issues, but so far only one person (in FL) complained. Nothing like Orson Wells' 1938 version! #audio #hgwells #radioshow #waroftheworlds #theatre #playwright #adaptation

Silhouettes of a lighthouse, three women, and one man against lightning in the dark blue sky.

A play of which I am very, very proud. Have been submitting it to folks for a decade now. I do understand. It is a difficult play. Personally I suspect my "brand" will need to be far more prominent before anyone takes a chance. #playwright #stageplay

I don’t care how many cases against him get dropped, delayed or buried. He’s guilty as sin and the whole world knows it.
