What the Dramatist Knows About Monsters
I sold my first paid byline to a Lincoln, Nebraska, newspaper at the age of ten. That was 1975. In the fifty-one years since, I have continued to be paid to construct figures that audiences will find frightening, or sympathetic, or contemptible, or laughable, on schedule, in plays and musicals and screenplays and novels and podcast scripts and editorial work. My Dramatists Guild membership dates from 1984. My MFA is from the Oscar Hammerstein II Center for Graduate Theatre Studies at Columbia University. A publishing house I founded in the same year I sold the first byline has operated without interruption since. The inventory exists for a single reason: the labor of figure-construction is something I know from inside the work, and the working-dramatist's perspective on that labor is the perspective from which my new book is written.

Thurs. May 28, 2026: Putting One Word After Another

Sunny and pleasant
You can read the latest on the garden over on Gratitude and Growth. There’s actually something to write this week.
After breakfast, I did a bunch of admin, then got the laundry folded and put away, and put aside the pieces that need ironing and those that need mending. I slogged through a bunch of email. A few days ago, I got a request for a script submission, and I’ve been rolling around what to submit. I picked the play (THE WOMEN ON THE BRIDGE) and sent it off. If I WILL BE DIFFERENT is ready by August, I can submit that, too (I can submit two scripts this year, per their request/instructions).
I pondered what to work on for END OF PLAY starting June 1. Some characters are starting to talk, but I’m not sure in which world they fit.
Part of me wants to finally work on the play inspired by the time Kit Cornell’s company took the train from Buffalo to Seattle on tour, got stuck in a snow storm, were late, the audience waited, so actors took turns on stage telling stories while the crew built the set around them, and they did the play, ending around 3 AM. But I don’t feel settled enough in the research, and I can’t re-read the books between now and the 1st. I should put those research books in a project bin so they are handy. I tracked down several memoirs by members of the company. It’s not ready to write yet, though, and I don’t want to push it when it’s not the right time.
Some projects one can leap into and sort it out on the way. Others, like this one and the May Morris play, require lots of specific research so the world of the play is reflexive and one doesn’t have to look up the details as one goes, because those details affect everything in the scene. I have to be comfortable in the world while writing the scene, not layer the details in later on.
Managed to get some work done on BETTING MAN. Not enough, but some. Decided to make another change in the overall arc, which will affect this book and future books. I’m hoping that will lift the obstacles I’ve been feeling as I work on it these past weeks, that I was on the wrong track with it, and now I’ve course corrected.
Switched over to the ghostwriting. Didn’t get as much done on a word count level as I hoped, but I’m happy with the quality. I will have to make up for it today and tomorrow, which will be a challenge, because today is packed.
The literary committee meeting went well. It’s always such a pleasure to have these monthly meetings and get into deep topics around the plays involved.
Word X Word confirmed I’m one of the poets in the exquisite corpse poem. We’re performing it July 26 at the Mount. It’s one of my favorite participations of the year. This will be my 5th year with them.
Cooked dinner, read a bit at night. I’ve read Elizabeth McCracken’s BOWLAWAY these past few days, which is a unique book stylistically and story-wise. It’s literary fiction that mixes whimsy, pathos, and history in it.
Slept well, which surprised me as much as anyone, up a little early this morning because Tessa and Charlotte were fussing. Morning routine was good, and I figured out a bunch of stuff in the new BETTING MAN direction in the morning free write.
As far as I know, the online meditation group meets this morning, then I head out on errands, try to get some work done on BETTING MAN, join the Freelance Friends chat, work on the ghostwriting. I’ve been invited to two different things tonight. Whether I can go to either of them largely depends on how much work I can get done around all the meetings.
I’m going to try to get a little bit done now, before meditation group.
Have a good one!

Comedian Gianmarco Soresi invites an audience member on stage and she performs the song "Astonishing" from the musical Little Women.
Afterwards Soresi tells the audience:
"I know some of you have kids and don't want them to pursue musical theatre. Here's how I think you should convince them...
Show them that song first, then say: 'That talent, that level of talent is currently putting on a puppet show 3 times a day, going "I'm Miss Clam", and the college they went to has just filed for bankruptcy.'
Is there nothing more clear about how broken this industry is?"

One of the models for Count Dracula is thought to be Stoker's employer, Henry Irving. This charismatic actor was sometimes viewed as vampirically sucking the energy from those around him, especially his hardworking theatre manager Bram Stoker. Behind his skill, charm and charisma, some people got the feeling Irving didn't have much of a personality of his own, giving an eerie, void-like impression. Stoker had long admired Irving before he started working for him, when he was writing for newspapers as a Dublin theatre critic. Stoker was prone to hero-worship and his admiration may have had a homoerotic tinge, which might be reflected in 'Dracula'. Irving played several highly gothic roles, including Macbeth, Hamlet, Faust, and the captain of The Flying Dutchman. Though his reviews were not always positive, Irving was a mesmerising actor who could leave an audience spellbound. #FairytaleTuesday #folklore #gothic #vampires #books #literature #vampire #history #mythology #theatre #Victorian #weird #Dracula #WorldDraculaDay

Just signed up for another Studio ACT course: Intimacy Choreography and Stage Fighting. Despite what the title might seem to imply, it's about theatrical use of consent, and planning for how to stage vulnerable moments. Intimacy coordination is still a relatively new discipline in theatre, and it matters immensely. This mini-course isn't about obtaining a credential in that role, but about me as an actor having the language to advocate for myself and others. #theatre #theatrestudies

Tues. May 26, 2026: The Week’s Foggy Start

Foggy and a little warmer
I hope you had a good weekend, and, if it was a holiday weekend for you, enjoyed the holiday. Restful or playful, depending on what you wanted and needed.
You can read the Community Tarot Reading for the Week here.
Friday warmed up a bit and got brighter, which was nice. After breakfast, I made the devilled eggs. I got some admin done, then packed up the dishes of eggs and the fruit into insulated bags and headed out.
Traffic was heavier than usual to Lenox, but not yet awful. I was early enough to miss the deluge. Parking in Lenox, however, was the usual nightmare. I finally found a spot on the correct side of a No Parking sign (the arrow went the other way to the other part of the curb), and maneuvered that. It was only a couple of blocks from the WAM office. But I was glad I’d given myself some extra time.
I helped set up as more people arrived, and we had a lovely time. I think there were 15-20 people who came through, some staying for the whole thing, others for just a bit. There were people from Shakespeare & Co. and Great Barrington Public Theatre and the WAM board and other colleagues, and it was a lovely way to send Molly off to her new adventure. WAM and Shakespeare & Co. have been the two main pillars of her career. There was lots of laughter, great conversation, and good food. And plenty of people to help with dishes and cleanup! It’s great that the regional theatres have such a warm relationship with each other, and so important for the health of all the theatres.
I left around 3:30 to head back home. Traffic was heavy, because Friday of the holiday weekend starting the season. Plenty of terrible drivers, so I had to be on alert.
But I got home, got things unpacked (I had a few eggs left and most of the dishes washed already). I had about an hour to just read (a book by a colleague at the ghostwriting client’s, which was very good), and then I started dinner. Who would think I could eat any more after that huge, Italian lunch, but we had fish tacos, and they were good.
Quiet evening, to bed early. A tiring few days toward the end of last week, but the good kind of tired.
Up at the usual time on Saturday. So much for sleeping in, but Charlotte and Tessa were impossible. It was cloudy and cool, and I was glad I had some of my warmer clothes still handy.
If you’re not familiar with Persephone Books in the UK, I suggest you check them out here. The books they republish are fascinating, and their monthly newsletter is filled with wonderful atmosphere, ideas, and other interesting tidbits. They love both the content of books and the making of books, and it’s a delight.
Saturday I did housework, read scripts for the literary committee meeting, and did elder care. I got a little reading in, too. It started raining in the afternoon, and I felt bad for the people coming in hoping for a lovely long weekend. It was also pretty cold. So I couldn’t finish setting up the back balcony, either.
I had an idea for a new opening scene for I WILL BE DIFFERENT. I wanted to set it in January of 1900, but I’m not sure I can – I might have to push it back into the previous century. I wouldn’t know whether the time of the scene worked until I put the whole play together.
Slept reasonably well, although Tessa and Charlotte were impossible on Sunday morning.
Morning routine was fine. It was raining heavily. I did the Community Tarot Reading for the Week, which you can read here.
I also made vegetable stock – two small jars in the freezer (in former gelato containers) and one glass jar in the fridge. With the CSA box, I’ll need to make lots of vegetable stock this summer, and I have to make sure I actually use it.
Then, I sat down and wrote the new opening of I WILL BE DIFFERENT, which I really like. I did a rough assembly of the scenes. It was 152 pages, far too long to be a produce-able play. I went through and did another draft, getting it down to 142 pages. I cut one scene entirely, and also tightened some internal beats.
These are just script pages, not counting the cover page, character/scene breakdowns, author’s note, etc.
I either have to cut at least 22 pages (probably closer to 25 or 30) to keep it as a single play, or split it and make it 2 smaller plays, each that run without intermission. I may need to add a WWII scene into the Alice section, and it probably means I can’t end the first play where I now have the first act, after the Milly/Ron party scene. Or maybe, with that scene, I can. I still feel that’s the right place to add either the act or the play. If it’s two separate plays, each one will need some restructuring, since it’s not just about breaking them up and that’s that. If I go that route, I also need to weave in some more events on the larger scale. In the current script, I have both World Wars, the depression, Roe v. Wade, and the ability for women to finally have their own bank accounts, credit cards, etc. I may also need to layer in other events that had a ripple effect.
There’s room for double/triple/more casting, but it still needs a big cast.
But at least I’ve completed several drafts. Nothing is submissible yet (I remember rolling my eyes whenever I was a script reader and someone dumped 150-page script on me, especially if I wasn’t paid extra – no, just no. Make the cuts before submission). I might send the Great Big Bundle of Script Pages to a couple of Trusted Readers who know my work well enough to focus more on character arc and overall flow rather than in how produce-able it is at the moment. Because in its current form, it is not produce-able. The questions I have aren’t about making it fit into schematics, yet, but other specifics that I will list for them. It is kind of cool to see the 20th century unroll through this lineage of mothers and daughters.
That took all day, with interruptions for elder care issues. I cooked dinner (drunken noodles, which turned out really well again) cleaned up, and went to bed early.
I woke up just after midnight from terrible nightmares, and had a bad time getting back to sleep. I was just dozing off again when Charlotte and Tessa started fussing.
Up at the usual time on Monday, morning routine. It was bucketing down rain and quite cold.
Slogged through way too much email. I’m very unhappy with one of my smaller clients, and need to consider options in the coming months. We’re being pushed in a direction I feel is unethical, and they’re allowing some freelancers to hoard work instead of spreading it out, the way it used to be under the previous owner.
Oh, and by the way, no one buys yet another fake assassination attempt in DC. Especially when they practically announce them ahead of time now.
Sent off an LOI for a position slightly out of my wheelhouse, but that I think I would love (and also be really good at).
Finished the reading and the notes for the literary committee meeting, and sent my notes.
In the afternoon, it brightened up a bit and warmed up a bit, but it was too late for me to start sewing.
After a mostly rough weekend on the elder care front, things were a little better on Monday.
Made us turkey burgers for dinner, read in the evening while functioning as cat furniture.
Slept well into this morning (for a change), although Charlotte started fussing at me around 3 AM. I refused to get out of bed until 5:30, and start the morning routine. It was very foggy in the morning, and it’s supposed to get up into the low 80’s.
Charlotte hurled a fur ball onto the pile of clean sheets, because of course she did. So at least the top one will go back into the laundry this week.
If I split I WILL BE DIFFERENT into a duology of plays, I may play with ending the first play with the Amanda scene where she learns about Milly’s (her mother) attempted suicide, and then start the second play with that same scene, using it as a bridge. Right now, the scene is the top of Act II. It’s not a good idea to end a play on a cliffhanger, though, especially since they will often have to be submitted separately. Ending it where I end Act I now, after Milly and Ron’s dinner party, is a better ending perhaps. It’s somewhat ambiguous, but not a cliffhanger.
I mean, if I just cut a whole lot and it’s one play, it won’t be an issue.
Bookending everything with the start being in January of 1900 and the end on New Year’s Eve 1999 works, though, and I like it. I may combine what I have as the second-to-last scene with the final scene, because there’s some repetition in there that I can cut if I integrate the scenes.
Also, if it’s a duology, I have to come up with catchy titles for each one!
If I was good at titles, I’d be earning money as a caption writer.
On today’s agenda: work on BETTING MAN, work on I WILL BE DIFFERENT, a quick run to the library to drop-off/pick-up books, ghostwriting, yoga. A day that needs focus, even though it will hopefully have fewer moving parts than some other days. I also have some more follow-up to do from last week’s Small Business Resource Expo.
I’m thinking about what I will pack for next week, when I stay over after the staged reading. It’s one night, so I don’t need much. I just like things packed ahead of time, so I’m not running around like a chicken with my head cut off the night before. Once I decide what to wear for the reading, and comfortable clothes in which to drive home in the next day, I’ll be all set. I’m keeping an eye on the weather predictions so I can make those decisions.
I hope you’ve had a good start to your week!

Do your characters make jokes? Even in his most serious tragedies, Shakespeare included some of his trademark dick and cunt jokes.

A moment from my final year at NIDA in 1989, performing in Too Young for Ghosts.
Looking back, this production shaped the foundation of everything that followed...four decades of film, television, theatre, and character‑driven work.
Training, craft, and the long arc of a creative life.#NIDA #Theatre #Acting #AustralianActor #StagePerformance #PeterMochrie

“Throne Swipe: Richard II” – Poetcore Shakespeare: The Bard for Gen Z
(T.A.E.’s LitBites) – A modern retelling of Richard II by William Shakespeare
Okay, picture this: a king who was raised believing his crown is basically a glowing aura that makes him flawless. Everyone around him treats him like destiny incarnate, and he starts acting like it — moody, theatrical, and totally out of touch. He’s beautiful with words, nails dramatic speeches, and expects people to bow because, honestly, he thinks that’s the only way the world is supposed to run.
But the kingdom? It’s quietly falling apart. Money’s tight, the nobles are restless, and the people are watching the throne like it’s a reality show finale. The king’s indulgent decisions — firing loyal counsellors, grabbing estates, and playing favorites — turn allies into disappointments. People whisper. The court chills. Even his own uncle is dying while the king stomps through court like he’s the lead in a tragic movie.
Enter the exiled cousin: a serious mood-shift. He’s been kicked out, stripped of his family land, and sent away like a character in an emo band who’s been ghosted. Instead of sulking forever, he quietly builds a crew, gathers support, and comes back not with a tweet-storm but with real momentum. He’s calm, low-key ruthless, and hates being wronged. The big difference between them? The cousin knows how to hustle in the real world; the king knows how to perform in the world of appearances.
There’s a tense public showdown. The king expects obedience and ritual; the cousin expects justice. They circle each other like fighters in a slow-motion clip — insults, legal claims, and the kind of family drama that becomes everyone’s business. The court judges and nobles take sides; the country’s faith in the crown shakes. At the center is the king’s idea: that kings are not just rulers but symbols — almost holy. But the cousin argues: if a ruler forgets his people, he loses the right to rule.
The key moment is like a viral clip where everything changes. The king, who once wore his crown like a halo, is led out of his palace and into a tiny cell. No pomp, no echoing halls — just cold stone and his own thoughts. The power that used to hum around him is gone. He sits with memories and questions, and for the first time he’s forced to look at himself without the mirror of ceremony.
This is where the play gets intimate. Stripped of title, he discovers how much of his identity was performance. He remembers how he loved the spectacle, how he used words to create an image, and how that image kept true governance at arm’s length. In prison, his speeches flip from bossy to fragile. He tries to understand what kingship even means without the crown: is it justice, protection, or the illusion of greatness? He writes, thinks, mourns — and reveals deep loneliness. You can feel him wishing for the old royal life while also sensing the sting of reality: he messed up — and now he’s paying.
Meanwhile, the cousin becomes the new public face. He doesn’t throw a victory party; he steps into the role with the cold practicality of someone who knows how to lead an actual country, not just a stage. The nobles promise stability. The crowds accept him because stability beats spectacle. But it’s not clean — power changed hands, and with it came new problems. A king who used to sing poems now finds himself erased from power completely.
The final scenes are low-key heartbreaking. The old king, who once thought the throne made him untouchable, writes letters that cut through pride and reveal a human who’s been humbled. He ruminates on identity, history, and the way language can build — or destroy — a life. The play ends with the new ruler crowned and the old king gone, leaving questions that hang in the air: Did the kingdom gain stability? Did justice win? Or did a performative throne just swap one kind of force for another?
What makes this story hit so hard for us is the emotional math: image vs. reality, authority vs. accountability, and the moment when someone’s online persona (or public image) collapses and they have to face themselves. It’s about losing the thing you thought defined you — and finding out that people can survive, and sometimes grow, without it.
So yeah — dramatic speeches, palace-level meltdowns, family betrayals, and a deep, messy look at what power actually does to people. Think celebrity meltdown meets political thriller, but with medieval capes and Shakespearean vibes. It’s a story that asks: when the crown is gone, who are you really?
