Although these stories were originally set in New York around the first decade of the twentieth century. For this adaptation I decided to set the stories in modern day London to explore some of the issues and use the locations more relevant to my life. All three stories are linked by the theme of the character's alienation (from reality and one another), which is so relevant to our contemporary, multicultural urban reality. The stories also now flow parallel to each other, their characters occasionally interacting as in the films of the great director Krzysztof Kieslowski. Cop and the Anthem (from the collection The Four Million) A homeless young man tired of his life of discomfort and hunger on the streets, decides to get arrested for shelter and food, but whatever he does seems to backfire. Then one day, whilst walking down a residential road, he hears beautiful music, which causes him to come to an epiphany. He resolves to turn his life around, but life seems to have other ideas... The Furnished Room (from the collection The Four Million) A beautiful young girl, spends most of her time melancholic and sick in her room. Meanwhile a distraught young man arrives in town with a heavy bag and seems to be looking for her all over the city. Will he manage to find her in the end? While the Auto Waits (from the collection The Voice of the City) Cynthia, a chic and attractive young woman works at a café but dreams glamorous dreams. One day she encounters an admirer in the park and pretends to be a movie star, but it seems she is not the only one playing a role. Written by O Henry See less
