Did I know that Kansas City, MO was so lovely? No? Well it is!

Spent 2 days with the MFA Theatre students and with Ricardo Khan and Sibusiso Mamba (South African writer/actor who now lives and works in London) doing an intensive on Freedom Summer 1964 and South African journey out of Apartheid- the basis for the new play we’re writing. I haven’t felt such work-related joy since writing “Freshwater Road.” The energy from the students and from my co-writers sent me into emotional and intellectual orbit – flying high on creativity. What a joy to be so engaged in the creation of something new! I am grateful to Ricardo Khan for bringing me on board this project. Yippie!!!
