A few years ago, my friend novelist Stephen McCauley (The Object of My Affection)and I were between books and hit upon the idea of writing a play as a way to keep ourselves occupied until we scraped together the energy to begin new novels. It was so much fun working together on A LITTLE WORK, a mash-up of Nip/Tuck and The Man who Came to Dinner.
We held some Boston workshop readings and even did a staged reading as a fundraiser for a local organization I helped found here in Boston. (www.mayyimhayyim.org). However, we never got to a full production until now.
"Who Wants Cake," a company in Ferndale, MI, (near Detroit) is giving A LITTLE WORK its world premiere, opening on January 8, 2010.
Steve and I are planning to attend the opening and I hope we'll see you there. If you have friends/family in the vicinity, please let them know about the show.
