Misunderstand me? Such is life.
Ever notice how people can turn everything into your fault? You come up with an idea, and it's perfectly reasonable. It will work. Everyone just has to get on board. And then, wham! You get accused of ulterior motives.
I am being way too cryptic, aren't I?
Forget it. Fact is, I don't even know what I'm saying. In the end, it's all going to work out. People can think what they want about me. I know my motives, my intentions, and what was the right thing to do. I know what's in my heart.
So guess what? I am not going to be directing The Play about the Baby. And I'm fine with it. Instead, my company is going to be reviving Someone Who'll Watch Over Me by Frank McGuinness. We did the show in 1997, I believe it was. It was the first show Matt Brewbaker, our artistic director, acted in - he was the Englishman. I played an Irishman and a very talented actor named Thomas Williams played the American in the show. It's play about hostages. The three men are chained to a wall in a cell in a middle Eastern country. We never see their captors. The play focuses on how the help each other to survive. It's incredibly timely with what is happening in Iraq. And that's why we switched. I wanted a show that related to this insane war in Iraq. By addressing the issue of hostages, we're touching on an aspect of this world changing event, and creating a dialogue. I hope we can get all three actors back. I know I'm back and I know Matt B. is back. Gerry Roe, the director, will return. So it all comes down to Mr. Williams. I haven't spoken with him in years. But he's still around. Hopefully, he'll want to give it another go. It was my favorite acting experience ever. I know he enjoyed the show, too.
Please come back, Thomas. We need you, too.
