Unfortunately, I don't think I have the "juice", if you will, to garner you any notoriety nor do I have the means to help you produce. I can't even get my own play on it's feet! But I appreciate the response and wish you well. Don't let the bastards get you down! And please come back and respond any time. Well Tom, I feel your pain.

I just published a high brow neo-Shakespearean satire on the election that's more eriudite and fun than the miasma of predictable, cliche', left-wing plays flooding the realm! I will send you the play. I had to self publish -hence its total obscurity- because my agent of 15 yrs , after kvelling about how clever and well written it was ,dissed me after she got to the last act which is very anti-Obama. I became suspicious and found out she is also Obama's book agent!!! Knowing how humorlessly narcissistic he is, I guess I can't blame her. Anyway, imagine Hillary as a thuggish Roman senator, and Obama as the manipulative Tribune whose wife is a demon manufactured for him by the Furies. Oh, and I lace into the Republicans pretty viciously too. I am very nonpartisan. This is JULIUS CAESAR for the 21st Century, with much Richard III, Macbeth, and the Greeks thrown in. There is even a chorus. They are particularly malignant. If you are so inclined you can help me get some notoriety, this play begs for performance. The juicy lines fall flat on paper - as is the case with the genre.To give credence to my claims, THREE NYC theatre groups whent gaga over the manuscript when they first got it, but by the end when I had skewered all their left wing heroes, they dissed me too. Just confirmation of your article. Even when there is a conservative play of merit, it can't get to first base. The system is arrayed against it. That's an insight you don't have. There are a lot of hypocrites out there! Oh yeah!
