First time in print, this historic production is derived from a magazine story with 54 weekly issues telling a hilarious and gripping adventure shows behind the scenes in Washington, DC when a conservative matriarch with unimaginable influence over one Congressman discovers her son is gay. The only problem is that he is working for the Congressman. This story was considered the favorite gay soap in America for many years. It was made into this screen play and the pilot was shot. But when, in 2001, the twin towers fell, so did all scripts with references to terrorist plots. Oh, yes, there is a terrorist plot in this story, originally written in 1993. Now, the screen play for this 19-episode epic television series is available.
From Margot Fonteyn's longest and closest friend in America, Joseph Stuhl, comes a novel about mystery, intrigue, conviction and romance from the 1930s through the end of World War II. The story, told in the refined voice of high-Victorian English, follows the life of Remo, the single child of a refugee mother, who runs from the German village of his youth to become the blacksmith's assistant for the traveling circus. Twists of fate and his great physical beauty lead him to become the intimate assistant of The Great Adrienne--most famous aerialist of her time and legend of all time. An unknown French painter had convinced her to sit for a portrait, and the result was a masterpiece that launched his rise as the most famous painter of his time. The painting mysteriously disappears for decades, and does not turn up again until the death of its subject, Adrienne, who has lied about it, except in her will.
A Time Below is an excerpt from Ludden's acclaimed work Mary Go-Round, that first appeared as a weekly serial in M/W in Washington, DC and Baltimore, MD. In this epic story of coming of age, the realities of national politics and the place of lesbians and gays in society at large, we see a son of the conservative south work for his right wing Congressman as he grapples with his emerging homosexuality.In this play the subplot of AIDS in the 1980s is dealt with head on. It offers humor and drama in a rare mixture of pathos and humor, a trademark of Ludden's writings as Dear Diva.Take a trip back to the early 1980s, when an AIDS diagnosis was a death sentence, and society was reticent to embrace the victims of this horrible disease.A perfect 1-hour dramatic presentation for young actors in their early 20s.
This small volume exposes part of that artistic fingerprint which will ultimately show what really did happen. It began with an assignment to a free-lance writer, sent out through a popular media net-the classified ads in the back of local newspapers. In response, writer Ken Ludden was the one chosen to fulfill the assignment. When the assignment first came to write Mary Go-Round, there was no way to anticipate its ultimate success. Neither editor nor the writer had any notion how timely this drama would be, nor that it would touch at the centerpiece of LGBT lives for time to come. Out of the original weekly story (which ran ultimately for 54 consecutive weeks and then was syndicated to other magazines for the next 14 years) came a novel, a 20-hour screen play for an epic television series, a script for a one act play and the script for the pilot series.
First time in print, this series was called ""America's Favorite Gay Soap Opera"" first published in 1993 in Michael's Entertainment Weekly (later M/W) in Washington, DC and Baltimore, MD as a weekly series in print. Voted the number one favorite of the public, the series developed a near cult-like following, including spontaneous street theater enactments each Thursday afternoon when the current editions first hit the streets. The series was turned into a screen play as a epic dramatic series. The pilot was shot, but the show never aired because of the element of terrorism in the plot, and the events of September 11, 2001 killed all projects involving terrorist threat for nearly a decade. The AIDS scare sub-plot was turned into a stage play called ""A Time Below"" which received rave reviews. It gives an accurate account of the AIDS scare in the early 1980s. Now in novel form, this timeless story comes to book sellers worldwide.
