The year began with a reading of Picked at the Goodman. A few months later came the world-premiere production of the play at the Vineyard. I then premiered two short plays in London, one as part of the Bush Theatre’s Sixty-Six Books and the other as part of Headlong’s Decade. In the midst of all this, I gave an interview about my experience of 9/11, and I wrote short pieces about American Idiot, Spiderman, the differences between US and UK theatre audiences, and the delicate task of post-show playwright feedback. Finally, the year ended as happily as it began, with a reading at the Goodman of my new play Teddy Ferrara, seen in rehearsal in the photo below.
