WILLIAM GIBSON'S
BURNING CHROME

The live theater world premiere of William Gibson's Burning Chrome was one of the most satisfying projects I have ever worked on. Gibson is one of my favorite authors and after 10 years of badgering Steve Pickering to adapt one of his stories for the stage, it came to pass in 1998.

A site that documented many aspects of the production was one of the first I had built. It still exists as it was - right here. If you are Gibson fan it is definitely worth checking out.
