In a Different World I loved You, NOTES

This is a play that I wrote several years ago....It is based on a short news article that I read online as part of a playwriting class that I was taking. That article was all the information that I had at the time and I was fascinated with the fact that this man, this terrible monster, could have lived a life that resembled normalcy in any way. He had a girl friend, he volunteered at schools and churches, he held down a job from time to time, he is the worlds most prolific serial killer, he was the guy next door, he may get out of prison....soon.

Since the time of its original conception this play has gone through countless changes and normally comes back to its present state. It needs work, it needs a workshop, it needs a staged reading, it needs help........for so many reasons.....yet, it is good, it is almost good enough.......I just don't seem able to get it there.....YET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So, I thought that I could publish it here, I would somehow infuse new life into a tired, old animal.
