The first draft of Replays, a full-length stage play, is finished and weighs in at 103 pages. The story is about four characters whose lives come together in a sports tavern named Replays.
The draft was started concurrently with the 2011 NaPlWriMo even though there was never a realistic hope it would be finished during November.
The four lead characters in Replays have been influenced directly or indirectly by sports. Journalist Roberta Times began he career as a sportscaster before moving into investigative reporting. Jack Downs, the owner of Replays, has been associated with the sports tavern for 25 years. Ex-footballer Joey Stilts, won a championship fifty years years ago. And high school student, Lois Chaos, wants to compose and perform classical music despite her parents’ wishes to play sports.
As the story progresses, and the characters’ conflicts are presented, each will remember, or realize for the first time, how their lives have been shaped by sports.
Further updates and developmental notes will be forthcoming.

Frenchtown’s own professional footballing eleven musically mauled league champions, the Lumber, on Saturday night. After getting pushed around the first half, the River Men came out with renewed vigor in the final thirty minutes and flattened last year’s champs. Near the end of the slugfest, the Frenchtown squad’s newly fierce offensive line, the Five Titans of Terror, were heard singing an impromptu ditty titled “Wrath of the River Men.”
