WELCOME TO MY WORLD
Hello. Welcome to my worlds. Yes, there is more than one universe on this web page. To your right is The Mustache Man, a scifi novel in serial form published every week for the next eighteen weeks. The Mustache Man will not disappear if you respond. I’ll publish a link to a new chapter every week in face book. To the left under trailers and downloads is “Remain Calm,” written by Dyan Cavalli and myself. The Remain Calm clip is a trailer followed by the opening scene including Frankenstein as a monster complete with snoopie growl. Re:UndineOdine is a musical written by Odine Hofstahl and myself. If you want to listen to the music, it’s there. These worlds are not just mine. The Mustache Man belongs to Pete Vargas and Detective Carlton James (who may or may not be an angel in disguise); her partner Ex Detective Robert Schulman (Shul) and Pete Vargas’ family, Chance Montclaire, her daughter Jewels and Bert the bulldog with his milky way eyes. The world of “Remain Calm” is inhabited by Gin and Lou, Frankenstein, Mary Shelley and Byron and her husband, Shelley. The musical, “RE:UDINEODINE” belongs to Ben and Odine, who sing and write letters over the internet and the Fates, Pill Box, Cassy and Mary. So, whether you’re celebrating Christmas alone or with friends, welcome to my worlds. I hope your apartment doesn’t get as crowded as mine with all these people from all these different universes.
Remain Calm
Gin and Lou are back together, not as lovers but collaborating on a screen play about Mary Shelley, the creator of Frankenstein. In walks Frankenstein himself. The play poses the question whether lovers whose paths have separated through the storm of love can return to each other as friends? This is what “Remain Calm” is truly about: two people, Gin and Lou who cannot stop helping each other get through life’s storms. At the end of “Remain Calm” Gin and toast each other as Mary Shelley looks on from the mist of the past. They have invoked her ghost to help them get past the illusions of betrayal and the disappointments of love. They are truly friends again.
Frankenstein has just delivered a gift to them: Mary Shelley’s secret journal with the missing pages the world has never seen. They will work on a screen play of Mary Shelley’s life as the play ends. And they will continue to work on the living relationship of a friendship that is truly “until death do us part.” In a world that sometimes feels like it’s going “to hell in a basket” perhaps this is the best that some of us can do: Preserve the love between friends who were once lovers, forgive and go on to fortify our spirits against the reversals of fortune this world holes in store for us. With humor, wit and fantasy (Frankenstein speaks and sings at the end of the play) “Remain Calm” is a small beacon of hope for those of us who believe that friendship must endure beyond the vicissitudes of love.
