STAR WARS as Written by Shakespeare: Video

THIS IS  A GAS! 

Rarely, do I find something so amusing that pertains to both of my blogs (books and theater). Well here's one. The trailer is great and I am going to get this book (though I'd actually like to see the play).



The book is from the same publisher that brought us "Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters" and "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies" (Quirk Books). [Incidentally, they turned down the opportunity to publish my "The Amish vs. The Zombies."]

You might want to read more, so here's the link to a preview of the e-book. This would be so fun to stage. I have first dibs.

Thanks to author Matt Mikalatos for finding and sharing. You should follow his blog.

Local Author's Book "Imaginary Jesus" Adapted for Stage

THIS JUST IN: The Fine Arts Theatre at Fontbonne University will present a stage adaptation of "Imaginary Jesus" by Deanna Jent. The adaptation is derived from "a comic story" by Vancouver, Wash. author Matt Mikalatos. The play is scheduled to run Nov. 15 through Dec. 20, 2012. 

If the play is anywhere near as good as the book I'd like to see it produced here in Vancouver.
