Quiet Ressurection

And so you see that I have quietly resurrected my blog. No mysterious shroud to ponder and no rolling away of stones. Well, you could look for a shroud if you wanted, but chances are you'd only find a pair of house shoes and some old Biore strips. I can't make statues cry blood and I promise not to appear to you in dreams or bowls of Captain Crunch. I can only offer my perspective on the world and the occasional Blackadder reference. And with that... let us resume.

"Pound of Flesh" Press Release (and all that)

Okay, so a press release may seem a teeny bit poser-y and self-important, but it's only because I really, really want you to see my play. Like, REALLY. Freud would say that this desire for attention stems from not having my basic needs met as a child. Hmm. Come to think of it, I am still waiting on that red double sided jam box with the detachable speakers... :) ** FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE AWARD WINNING PLAYWRIGHT/SCREENWRITER KAY POIRO’S “POUND OF FLESH” TO DEBUT AT J.E.T.
