Two weeks ago, I accidentally missed my blood donor appointment. This evening, I was turned away because I had a temperature of 99.9. Are the fates trying to tell me something?
I’ve rewritten my “Job Interview” sketch (PDF). Comments and criticism appreciated.
Over at ArtMachine, Glen asks:
Can anybody explain to me why some of the best modern plays for the theatre (Proof, On the Razzle, Copenhagen, Hapgood, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead) find their inspiration in mathematics, physics, or quantum theory?
I’ve seen only the film version of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern and heard good things about Copenhagen from my parents (who saw it a few months before it closed on Broadway), so I don’t really have an answer. But it’s a very interesting question.
I don’t usually like to post unfinished writing here, but I’m facing a deadline and you folks, quite frankly, are the closest thing I have to a writing workshop at the moment. With both of these sketches (Comedy Socks and Job Interview), I’m not convinced that what I’m writing is funny (amusing, maybe), and I don’t know how to get from where I’ve left off to any kind of punchline. Your thoughts, as always, are appreciated.
