Currently Nick is working on turning his award winning play, David and Goliath in America: A William Kunstler Story into a screenplay. The play has been produced nationally and won several awards including an Ovation Award in LA. It was being passed around as a screenplay in Hollywood when 9/11 hit and then no one wanted to touch a story about the black experience, authoritarian rule and America being torn apart. So Nick moved on. But this play's time may have finally come. If any theater groups would like info or to read the play or even do a zoom reading, let Nick know! The pictures are from a production at The Road Theater in North Hollywood.
