Spotify https://open.spotify.com/episode/2tC1CdPq7ckiUqeKQQxwU9 YouTube https://youtu.be/Ds5QWyPxf44?si=c57YNZbU9T_whMES Writer, actor, director, producer James Elden interviews Northeast Ohio playwright Peter Anthony Fields. This is a very important episode shining light onto a subject a lot of us don't realize our fellow creatives are struggling with and how it may affect their craft - disabilities. Peter Anthony Fields sat in the Playwright's Spotlight and shared his experience fighting Parkinson's and how his diagnosis changes his creative pursuit. We discuss not only the physical afflictions of the disease but also the mental symptoms, his transition from filmmaker to playwright, advice for other creatives whom might be trying to overcome a disease or disability and the tools to help them cope but, also, the gifts having a disability may offer. We talk about self publishing and promotion, facets of playwriting playwright's shouldn't burden themselves with, how minute direction can change a piece, and the ramifications of a character's action. It was certainly an insightful interview that I hope you take something away from to encourage other artists who might be holding themselves back from the creativity brewing inside. Sincerely, *Peter Anthony Fields* *Playwright & Novelist* *Member of the Dramatists Guild of America* *(Fields is my family & pen-name; Gould is my legal surname)* *Official Website <https://peteroctb.wixsite.com/peteranthonyfields>* *Facebook page <https://www.facebook.com/peteranthonyfields8playwright> * *My YouTube channel <https://www.youtube.com/@PeterFields18>* *Amazon.com Author's page <http://amazon.com/author/peteranthonyfields> <http://amazon.com/author/peteranthonyfields>*
