Top 10 Things to know about me...

  1. "David Austin" was inspired by Woody Allen’s Crimes and Misdemeanors, in which a hit man uses flowers to get into a woman’s apartment and promptly kills her.
  2. Janet Robash, whose name shows up in the play, is a former neighbor and dear friend.  When she read that far in the play, she ejaculated coffee through her nose.
  3. I love Spoonerisms, and my most produced play is PRINDERELLA AND THE SINCE.
  4. I began writing plays about two minutes after I retired from teaching political science at Indiana University in Indianapolis.
  5. On days I don’t playwright, I get cranky.
