Back in 2009 I received a rejection letter; a very nice 'Dear John' letter, but a rejection letter all the same. The BBC had passed on a radio play I'd written depicting the last ever meeting between John Lennon & Paul McCartney in New York in 1976. I mention this only because I received a text from James yesterday with the following flyer attached.
In his WhatsApp missive James said - "Dad, didn't you write this play fifteen years ago?" Indeed I did, James. Indeed I did. Which is why, a week on Wednesday, I'll be sat in row G of the stalls at Watford Palace Theatre making copious notes. And muttering a lot.
Do you know a good lawyer?
ReplyDeleteNot yet!
DeleteYou have the time-stamped proof on this blog if you need it... I really hope you don't!
ReplyDeleteThe only thing I can think of right now is how the play starts - what's their 'in'? I must admit, I'm really looking forward to seeing it!
DeleteTake them to the cleaners, John!
ReplyDeleteArgh how infuriating but you will indeed be looking forward to seeing it too.
ReplyDeleteI remember you directed me to your blog post with the play a short while ago and I loved it. Wonder what this new version will be like. Hope your lawyer is poised.
