Synchronicity at Play!

Who would have thought? Just last summer, a couple of dear friends sympathetic to my passion for Jane Austen took me to visit the house where she breathed her last, on July 18th, 1817, in Winchester, England. Three months later, Verde Valley Theatre asked if I would be willing to take on their March 2010 production--and agreed to take a chance on my dusty old manuscript: a loving, painstaking, dramatization of her little-known gem, called Lady Susan that I never thought would see the light of day. And now, after weeks of intense and exciting preparations, the show is due to open very soon. May I just take this moment to thank everyone, on both sides of the Atlantic, for their generous support of this project so close to my heart. May each one of you, too, live to see your dreams come true.
