Bill interviews old friend Jeffrey Hatcher: prolific playwright, screenwriter, and James Bond fan. They discuss life in the thee-ay-ter, along with the agonies and ecstasies of writing new plays. Also: Jeff’s pre-TITANIC Titanic play; the real-life Pottersville that is Steubenville Ohio; funeral shenanigans; the rules of writerly theft. Finally, Jeff shares tales of his screenwriting career, with stories about Ian McKellen, Patrick Stewart, and other mellifluous-voiced Brits.
