* Anne Royall, Playwright? (Stage Write)
“I knew Anne Royall was an outsized American figure as I wrote the book and lyrics for Congressman Davy. What I didn’t know was that I had a sister of sorts as a dramatist.”
* Channeling Edgar (Stage Write)
“Knowing that [Edgar Allan] Poe actually reviewed a [Davy] Crockett book when it appeared opened up another fascinating window into the topsy-turvy landscape of Washington City in the 1830s.”
* Washington City (Stage Write)
“It was important as I wrote Congressman Davy to get a sense of that closeness [of Washington City]: a community situated in an unhealthy clime, engaged in persistent, fierce and vitriolic polemic from which there was very little possibility of any day-to-day escape.”
