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!

ORSON WELLES is here

by Michael B. Druxman on 10/13/12

October 15, 2012

I am very happy to announce that my one-person play, ORSON WELLES is now available on audio.  As I write this blog entry, it can currently be obtained at audible.com, and if you become a member of that group, you can get the download for free.  (If the above link doesn't work, just copy the following address into your browser and you'll be taken right there.)

http://www.audible.com/pd/ref=sr_1_2?asin=B009P8KNYQ&qid=1350144222&sr=1-2

Later this week, the download will also be available on both Amazon.com and iTunes.

If you enjoy listening to you "books," rather than reading them and you are a fan or admirer of Orson Welles, I know that you are going to enjoy this adaptation of my stage play.

Ed French, who plays Welles in the recording and is terrific in convincing you that he is, indeed, the late actor/filmmaker, and I have constructed this recording in the style of a radio drama, complete with sound effects and music cues.

It was a pleasure working with Ed, and I do hope that you will listen to our finished production.

This coming weekend, I will be doing two roundtable discussions plus sitting on a panel at the Austin Film Festival, then the following weekend, I'll be in Los Angeles (actually, Burbank), appearing at the Monsterpalooza horror convention.

I continue to work on my Basil Rathbone play, as well as my second set of Hollywood memoirs, and give notes to the other actors/narrators who are turning my books and plays into audio adaptations.

Finally, I am about to upload a review of  the British TV series, KINGDOM staring Stephen Fry, onto the Best Bets on DVD site, accessible via the link in the Introduction section of this page.  So, please take a look.

You have a creative week,

Michael
