David Fulmer returns to Storyville
Congratulations to Atlanta author David Fulmer, who announced this week that he will collaborate with local theater 7 Stages and New York’s New Federal Theatre for his first-ever script for the stage, Storyville. The play is based both on his Valentin St. Cyr murder mysteries set in New Orleans and the lone history book, Al Rose’s indispensable Storyville, about the city’s notorious red-light district at the turn of the last century.
There are lots of potential stagings for the play, although funding issues prevent Fulmer from revealing specific plans at this time. But options include a staged reading at next spring’s Tennessee Williams/New Orleans Literary Festival, and Atlanta certainly figures in the future.
