We were given a theme for a recent set of readings. A group of us were to write something based on the Kitty Genovese murder.

I like to think of this piece as being about two monsters…

It’s an extended one act about the life of the American actress Jean Seberg, paralleled with the rise and fall of Joan of Arc. A “two hander” as they are called – two actresses only.

If anyone’s in the city, I am having a staged reading of the play at the Dramatists Guild tomorrow (friday the 11th) at 7PM. The Guild is at 1501 Broadway, 7th floor. Come if you can.
