1.    Script

The English adaptation of "Rebecca" is finally going to be seen. We start off by saying that this is a huge deal because the English version of the script hasn't been really seen in a public forum yet. From ancient underground streams to investors dying of malaria, the English version of "Rebecca" seemed cursed. But now, over 10 years later, it looks like it might finally happen in London in 2023. So I emailed Michael Kunze, the creator of "Rebecca," asking when this came about because I just interviewed him a couple of months ago in September, and he didn't let anything slip about this. The reason Michael didn't tell me about it in September is because he was still trying to make up his mind about whether they wanted to do it or not. And just because it's London, that doesn't mean it's on the West End.

3.    My Story
Recently, I found out about a play that is a huge deal. It's special because it hasn't been shown to many people yet. People thought the play seemed cursed because of many problems. The director was trying to make up his mind about showing it in London. They decided to start in a small theater to get a feel for how people like it. If it goes well, they might show it in more places. This news is really exciting for theater fans!
