For most of my professional life, I have been a teacher and a playwright. My play, "The Yiddish Trojan Women" won London Weekend Television's "Plays on Stage" award, when it was produced by the Soho Theater Company in 1995, and was also produced in New York, Los Angeles, and various other venues. It was published by Dramatists Play Service, and in anthology (Bottled Notes from Underground: Contemporary Plays by Jewish Writers Loki Books: International Play Series, London). I was playwright in residence and literary manager at the Berkeley Repertory Theater in California for several years, and my play "The Margaret Ghost", based loosely on the life of Margaret Fuller, premiered there. It was revived in Boston in 2010 to celebrate the bicentennial of her birth.) Until my recent retirement, I taught literature and creative writing at Phillips Academy in Andover, MA. My first novel, "Original Tenants" is unpublished, though excerpts from it have appeared in the Jewish Quarterly, London. I have just finished a second novel, "Rites of Return".
