Fancy Footwork: the Irish Boxing Play - Flamboyan theater

45 minutes feels like 25 in this fast paced packs an emotional punch 1 act play written by Irish playwright Miriam Gallagher and directed by American Rich Johnson. It went by so quickly, i needed to interview the director about the larger theme of this play/

Q: why did you choose this play

A:(RJ - Rich Johnson) I thought it would be a good fit for the Fringe; there is a little set, not a big set. Good script.

Q: What about the theme

A: how athletes get manipulated, take drugs, whether they are aware of it (renders play relevant) or not. I cast the black actor because it seems like he"s washed up, but he"s not; he overcomes it and retains his title.

Talk back on friday the 28 at 2 pm

Surviving and Overcoming:

Speaking of surviving and overcoming: WHile i am being fed by very generous people, i still have to spend a significant amount of time pitching my iproject and there were a couple days where i did not eat at all. Also , i need a bed to sleep in tonight and it would be great if someone would be so generous as to offer that.

Also, so i do not have to begging via my blog, If anyone who has received my CV could possibly call me about an interview, that would be spectacular!
