Spitfire
My mother lost her first husband during WW 2. He flew a Spitfire and was shot down flying back to base. He left behind my brother who was a baby at the time. I don't know if the two ever saw each other.
I was born many years later. Mom had remarried. My brother and I were 14 years apart in age.
The play deals with the effects of war, how sometimes the injured never see battle. War scars families for many generations.
When I was about 10 or so my brother came home for a weekend. He was a figure skater with Ice Capades. He brought everyone a present. My present was a model airplane, a Spitfire.
I'm midway through a first draft. We'll see if this has legs.

Right As Rain
Well my new year's resolution to try my hand at playwriting continues.
The latest one is in two acts. 4 Characters. "Right As Rain"
It's set in the 1890's in southern Ontario. Plans to create a normal family life go horribly wrong. Love is such a complicated emotion.
I say I have finished it and yet I keep rewriting the ending. :)

Self Producing
It just doesn't work anymore.
The days of cost effective promotion are over. Social media is so toxic that I refuse to create and share events, visit group pages, and tell my "friends" about upcoming performances.
Email newsletter platforms are now too expensive, and if I am spending a lot of my time unsubscribing, so is everyone else.
Eventbrite or other on-line ticketing services are now too cluttered and too expensive.
Covid decimated local theatre spaces. The result is that they will accept anything if it pays the rent, even if that means ignoring their mandate to present only live theatre.
Local media is dead or dying. Certainly it's standards have been chopped off at the knees.
It's just no fun anymore. Sigh
