Samuel French has informed Cynthia and myself that our comedy TWO WIVES AND A DEAD GUY (www.samuelfrench.com) was recently performed in Ireland.

The play has now been produced 35 times in seven countries (Australia, Bangladesh, Canada, France, India, Ireland, Philippines, and the USA).

Play submissions tip: the bulk of play submissions usually occurs in the fall since quite a few new plays make their debut in late spring/summer (summer stock, college playwrighting/directing classes, fringe festivals, etc.), so if you wish to avoid being stuck in the slush pile any longer than you have to… (Always check the submission guidelines first — some companies read/accept scripts only during certain months.)

It’s official: TERMINAL: THE PLAY, the lettered edition priced at $295, is sold out after being only available for about a month and a half through the Horror Mall (www.horror-mall.com).

And the royalty check is on its way. (Thanks, Larry!) Now I’ll a little extra in my pocket when we go to CONvergence and Brian and I discuss the next phase of what to do with the script.

Word of orders for THEATRE OF THE MACABRE is slowly beginning to trickle in — check it out, again, at the Horror Mall!
