Today, I started working on an article that I've kind of had on the back burner for a while. It is about this guy, a lawyer, actually, from Rockport, who also happens to be a play director. He translated three short plays -- one by Chekov and two by Strindberg -- titled "Cigarettes, Coffee, and Suicide" that will open next week. The plays actually only have three actors throughout the production -- one in the first play, two in the second, and three in the third. Currently, I've been spending my time assimilating the press release into article format. Since the article is actually due by the end of business Monday, I am planning on conducting the necessary interviews Monday afternoon. My goal for the rest of today is to continue to and eventually synthesize all the information from the press release into article form (a feat, considering it is four single spaced pages long!), then give the guy who directed and translated the plays a call on Monday. Ideally, I'd also like to talk to at least one of the actors -- I know one of them is probably in Germany right now, but the other two might be available if I ask for a contact number from the director.
On another note, something fairly interesting happened with the Essex police. Apparently, a flagger in a construction site whacked a woman's car with his flag. Crazy! It always astounds me what some people do in certain situations. I look forward to finding out more when more information comes in.
