For starters, he's playing every Monday at the Cafe Carlyle with his jazz band. Likely writing / finishing a couple scripts, if not another play.DW wrote:Something I've thought about is what Allen has done with his time between WW final cut and now.

Even when you figure in the time devoted to the opera, you're still looking at a long layoff because of WW unusually early production. He likes to stay busy, as everyone here knows. I was reminded earlier that after Match Point was released he wrote 3 screenplays in 12 weeks, Scoop being the last of the three and the only one of which we know for sure has made its way to the screen. Cassandra's Dream and VCB were not those films. I haven't seen any New Yorker shorts recently, rumors of one-acts in the offing, etc...what's Allen up to these days?
I think the opera pretty much filled up the time gap - he's usually done any kind of production by the end of the summer so the opera likely filled up that time, and he's now back to his ever-so-comfortable working schedule.
Nice blog by the way.
