What took you so long to get here?
Where have you been all my life?
I’ll tell you where I’ve been.  

I’ve been in show business!

Ever since I was a little kid and heard Pinocchio singing, “Hey, diddly-dee, an actor’s life for me,” that’s what I wanted. Well, not to be an actor. 
I got tired of that during my freshman year in college.

So, what to do, what to do. . .

After many years as a Hollywood press agent, I became a writer…movies, stage plays, books.  
Anything that was a challenge.  I love telling stories.

After all, with due respect to actors, directors and other artists, isn’t the only truly creative aspect of the performing arts the written word?     
Everything else is “interpretation”.

On this site you will find links to my many stage plays that are available for licensing, listings of my books that are available for purchasing, some of my screenplays that are available for optioning, plus my blog that will keep you apprised of my various on-going activities and we can get to know each other, maybe too well.

If you’re into DVDs, take a look at my monthly newsletter, BEST BETS ON DVD.

Also, if you have a story that you want told, either in screenplay or book form, I am still a writer-for-hire.  Have Mac-Will Write.

So, please sign the guest book and share your thoughts and comments on my blog.  But, let’s play nice!

Don’t be such a stranger.  Keep coming back!

HOPE GAP

 by Michael B. Druxman on 07/01/20

July 1, 2020

HOPE GAP is a beautifully photographed, marvelously acted drama about a depressing subject: Divorce.

Adapted from a stage play, the film stars Annette Bening and Bill Nighy as a long-married (29 years) British couple, who appear to be living a docile life together.  They have a grown son (Josh O’Connor), who resides in the city and visits occasionally.

One day, after a quarrel, Nighy, a school teacher, announces that he wants a divorce.  In fact, he’s been having an affair with a fellow teacher for over a year.

Bening becomes totally unraveled at the rejection, and it is only her son who keeps her from doing something desperate.

A major co-star in HOPE GAP is the sea side scenery, particularly the spectacular White Cliffs of Dover. 

William Nicholson wrote and directed the semi-autobiographical film, released onto DVD by Screen Media.

My new one-person play, BUD ABBOTT ALONE, is now available in both paperback and Kindle editions on Amazon and elsewhere.

If you are a fan of Abbott and Costello, you will certainly enjoy this one.
