There are some wonderful details in S.I. Rosenbaum’s New York magazine profile of Danny Rubin, the man who wrote the script for the beloved 1993 film comedy Groundhog Day. For years, each Feb. 2, a secret admirer would leave gifts on the stoop of his Santa Fe, N.M. home; and a current Rubin screenplay, The Hanging Story, is like Groundhog Day in reverse, featuring a man whose death-by-hanging is repeatedly postponed thanks largely to his storytelling skills.

The Bill Murray film has been transformed, by Rubin and collaborators, into a stage musical, performed last summer in London and currently gearing up for an April 17 Broadway opening.
