On February 15 of this year, the first on-stage reading of my play, _The Trial of Huckleberry Finn_ took place at Grayson County College by one drama class before three English classes that resulted in me making some revisions to the draft some of y'all have read. It's a one act play that runs about an hour and a half. It includes a black critic, Twain, his lawyer, David Wilson, Huck and other characters from the novel as well as Mrs. Jane Clemens and Roxy. It has been described as allowing the novel to defend itself emphasizing the conflict between the individual and the society that shapes it. Under the guidance of a colleague/mentor/agent, I'm pursuing a publisher and am beginning to seek venues for public performances by community and educational institutions. For those of you interested in producing this play or know of groups that would be intersted in your area, please contact me at [log in to unmask] By the way, the serial novel still needs contributors . . .
