SHOW TIME�I'm delighted to report that I've been nominated for an "Angie" award of the International Mystery Writers Festival, in a stage category that includes Ray Bradbury ( ! ), Rupert Holmes, Mary Higgins Clark, and Lee Goldberg.
"Murder Times Two," comprises two one-act plays I adapted from a pair of my Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine stories. They'll be performed four times during the two-week Festival at RiverPark Center, Owensboro, KY, June 12-22.
From the IMWF web site: A catchphrase and a life-changing moment. Levinson once again brings levity to a Hollywood tale of passion, love and longing in "Take My Word for it and You Don't Have to Answer." He pairs that mystery with a sexy drama in the court of blackmail and intriguing murder.
