    No, not atm.

    To clear this up:

    Aaron Sorkin is the creator, and for 4 seasons the cheif writer, of the West Wing.

    He is also the writer of "A Few Good Men" [i.e. 'you can't handle the truth!!'] and 'The American President'.

    Sorkin left after Season 4 because:

    a) He felt that the show had 'jumped the shark' - a hollywood term for 'gotten old'.
    b) He wanted to do other stuff, and for more money.

    He's written a new play, 'The Farnsworth Invention', that will preview right here in Dublin! It's also becoming a film.

    Season 5 was just enforgivable, particularly the first few episodes. Season 6 was a definite improvement, especially the last few episodes.

    Roll on S7!

    Wow, thanks for that, pretty interesting.

    I googled a bit about that play... the story doesn't sound too interesting, to be honest, lol. Any details about when it'll preview, or where (in Dublin) or how much it'll cost? Also, why preview it in Dublin? What's here? lol. It just seems like an insignificant city in terms of theatre.

    I'm not much into the theatre, but I might give this a look-see, cos I love Sorkin's style in movies -- it'd be interesting to see what he does with a stage, and it'd be cool to be able to say I was at the preview, especially if this somehow manages to get big.
