Began new play. Wrote 1000 words, which is my daily target. Characters paper thin. But thatโs OK. Ibsen said โfirst draft - characters like someone you sit opposite on train. Second draft - people youโve known a few days. Third draft - people youโve known all your lifeโ
1/2 ๐ We can't do much, but we'd like to offer support to creatives/freelancers that might be struggling right now โ
If you've had paid work that's now been cancelled, due to Covid outbreaks or venue closures (and you can no longer recoup your original fee) please DM us
@MohanadElshieky Bloods, a sitcom in the UK, dealt with it really well. Literally one passing line in the first episode to show it happened, but then the plot continues and you can have that sweet, sweet escapism.
According to the guy behind me at Bond, one man cooking a meal for another man is 'Too PC'.
I'm so glad someone finally confirmed where the line is drawn.
Playwriting thought of the day #5 : for a theatre play, an hour of playing time is 9,000 to 10,000 words. Basic but no one tells you this! Think in minutes - after a thousand words, the audience are six minutes into the play. And so on. Writing a play is โsculpting in timeโ.
