I happen to stumble upon 2 video clips taken of the production of "A Wound In Time" last Fall at Nuyorican Poets Cafe. Just imagine this play filmed professionally with three broadcast quality cameras!
One is the opening scene of salutations by Iya Carmen (played wonderfully by Soleidy Mendez) and the other is a scene just before Millie (played wonderfully by Ryss) and Iya Carmen begin a spiritual cleaning.
The trials and tribulations of launching a play as the writer, producer and director. From auditions through the rehearsal process witness the evolution of this edgy, mystery thriller to the stage and beyond. The play ,written in the late 80's, was adapted into a screenplay, revised and set in 1993. It was mounted in 2010 Off Off Broadway, and remounted, by popular demand, and had a successful run Off Broadway in 2012! In production and hoping to wrap late 2016 or early 2017. Stay tuned.
