Sorry. Scratch that. I meant for the headline to be Scratch that. My mistake.
Anyway. Recently, in trying to think of a new show to write, I pulled down a box of old writings. I have many boxes like this (maybe too many), filled with everything from scrap shreds of paper with lone ideas scribbled down, to full folders bulging with pages written, revised and re-written.
I’ve decided to make this a regular entry topic on this blog, under which I will share excerpts from my back pages. Let’s begin with some play ideas I found. These are in no particular chronology or order. Enjoy.
1.An existential comedy about a man who, after searching the Earth far and wide for the meaning of life, finally finds it in the heel of an old pair of deck shoes. But, before he gets a chance to enjoy the discovery, dies of high cholesterol and is reincarnated as a hair inside someone’s nose.
2.A slapstick psychological thriller about a mob boss who accidentally puts a hit out on himself. Title: Unorganized Crime.
3.Imagine an elderly superhero whose powers aren’t what they used to be. Who can never remember where they left the top to their outfit. And who has had it up to here with the neighbors letting their dog poop in the front garden. Possible hero name — Crab Po’boy.
