A New Play
Hello friends,
Happy 2020. I have a new play, a farce called “The Ghost of David Belasco” that will have a reading at Lakewood Theatre in Lake Oswego as part of the city-wide Fertile Ground New Play Festival. It will be Sat. Feb 8 at 2 pm. Here is the pitch:
The Ghost of David Belasco is a farce in the vein of Noises Off and The Play That Goes Wrong. Set in a haunted theatre in 1937, a group of interested characters hire a renowned Russian medium to try and lay the ghost’s angry spirit to rest so the theatre can be safely reopened. They successfully make contact with the long dead theatre impresario Daid Belasco, but from there things go hilariously astray, including freak lightning storms, murder and mayhem. Will this historic theatre be exorcised? Will the actual audience escape with their lives and sanity intact? We shall see.
Come if you can. I promise you’ll have fun.
