Sex and the Single Jew – Mid-life Crisis Comedy
|
|
A mid-life crisis comedy, The Maxine Chronicles: Sex And The Single Jew uses humor to address an
issue that faces many middle aged people – as children grow up and leave, marriages fall part, are
we too old to follow our dreams?
Cast adrift by her philandering husband, Maxine is in a full-blown crisis of confidence when her
best friend Connie takes her to a weight loss camp at the Chateau de Vie, in the Catskills
Mountains.
But as Maxine soon learns, there is a lot more going on than just weight loss – from
hypnotherapy sessions that uncover her deepest held secrets to encounters with a sick cow, romantic
dinners to big business plots, Maxine will experience a life-time of adventures in one short
week.
At the end of it she will be a changed woman – but will she be happy ever after with the man of
her dreams, or will it be back to the macadamia nut binges and fantasies about her dentist, Dr.
Ronald Kertler?

"I have worked with Don on three scripts over the
past 18 months, and I am looking forward to an ongoing working
relationship.
Creatively, he is highly imaginative, capable of
utilising both his own ideas and incorporating those of others to their maximum
potential. Don is very hard-working - he works fast, but cares - which means that it
becomes very energising for those he works with.
Tough deadlines are a challenge rather than a
problem, so if time is of the essence, Don is the ideal person to have on your
team."

Don is by far the fastest scribe I've had the
pleasure of working with. In fact, I am puzzled by how high the quality is; you would
think it would suffer accordingly.
Don is always just an email away, and didn't
hesitate to open up his phone lines despite us being in two different countries. Note
that he insisted on picking up the bill every time, which I thought was
class.
Don's educational background, with a Masters in
Screenwriting, plus his global travels and experiences, all come through and result in
rich, pointed prose. Highly recommended.
