On my third day as an Intern (which is actually my third
week since starting) the Development Manager received a hand written letter.
Bewildered by such an item (apparently people still physically write letters) she opened the letter and began to read it out loud. From memory it went
something like this:
Dear Wooster Group,
I am an innocent man who has been sentenced to
death. I wish to work with your company in producing a theatre piece about my
story.
The remainder of the letter outlined other theatre works
that the prisoner had produced and how he wanted to sell his story in the hopes
that the company would devise a theatre piece based on his life.
After reading the letter the Development Manager was a bit
shocked and unsure what to do, especially with three young interns gawking at
her, she quickly realised that it probably wasn't the best idea to have read the
letter out loud and went into her office to hide.
Nothing happened after that, everyone went back to staring
at their computer screens and I was sent out to go to the post office. I guess the
Wooster Group have decided not to pursue this story as I haven’t heard anything
else about it. What a random letter though!
