“What the hell?” David MacGregor says from across a Formica table in Leo’s Coney Island in Hartland, Michigan.
This "what the hell?" is not coming from frustration or outrage, but from a sense of “what are the odds?”
MacGregor says his story is entirely unlikely. After all, he is a successful playwright living and working in Hartland, Michigan, who has received international acclaim for his works Gravity, The Late Great Henry Boyle, and Vino Veritas, all of which have been performed by Jeff Daniels' Purple Rose Theatre Company in Chelsea, where MacGregor is a Resident Artist.
