1st Published play, Trophy Hunters, Best Short Plays of 1971, (Produced by DeWilde and Snell and directed by Robert arthur Miller at Company of angles Theater Los Angeles, now defunct. Rewritten as 2 act and Produced by The Denver Center Theatre Co, 1986, and published in their Prima Facie series. Tigers, 1st Published in Best Short Plays of 1973, produced by NET Maryland as a 1hr TV play, then produced in Tandem with Trophy hunters at the Company of angels Theatre. (Same producers and director.) Reproduced here and there now and then, without my knowledge orconsent, which I'd give anyway. Waterhole, first produced by Gordon Davidson, Mark Taper Forum, Los Angeles, directed by Robert Egan. 2nd production, actors Theatre of Louisville, 1984 (I think) Since rewritten as a novel, BLOOD OaSIS published Blurb.com and available at amazon.com, albeit the Blurb.com edition is the better and is in both hardcover and paperback. Exclusive Circles was written in Denver Colorado and produced by the DCTC (Denver Center Theater Company) and published in their Prima Facie series.(It's not a bad play,in need of only a smidgin's tightening in the first act. Deals with S.African apartheid.) Produced screenplays include arthur Miller's FOCUS, starring William H. Macy and Laura Dern. (I adapted Miller's novel for him, I think the only writer ever to have written for the 'master') and my own work based on an account by Eichmann during his trial in Israel: THE aRYaN COUPLE, (in which Danny Webb brilliantly portrays Himmler and Judy Parfitt: Rachel Krauzenberg) albeit, to my mind, the movie's producer director's rewrite of my original screenplay falls far short of merit. THE aRYaN COUPLE also exits in stage play format, not published, any takers? I regret I have no data on exact dates, ISBN's or any other written affidavits to download or paste, but nonetheless Ido thank 'dollee' for this thoughtful and worthy site while I now venture into the fictional novel Arena, TaMaRa HUNNEY, a CHILD'S GUIDE TO HERESY, BLOOD OaSIS, and soon to final edit CRaDLES OF EDEN. Kendrew recently transposed his novel a Child's Guide To Heresy' ( or, The Great Yorkshire Witch Trial of 1249  available at blurb.com ) to a 3 act play format, and received a commission (and's praying for a Brit production)for its world premiere by Ron Lindblom artistic director of the prestigious Pittsburgh Playhouse with the play's motion picture rights under present option by the play's director Robert a. Miller, (co-producer of his father's United artists movie prod of The Crucible', (Daniel Day-Lewis, Wynona Ryder) and Kendrew-written (for arthur Miller) Focus' (William H. Macy. Laura Dern, David Paymer, Meat Loaf aday. Paramount Classics), viewable at Kendrew Lascelles : amazon.com IMDB
