Unsung Playwright

I'm just a playwright standing in front of a Literary Manager, asking them to love him. Best #playwriting tips from the most #unsung #playwright. Parody Account

HEY FANS. Going to sleep. I know I'll have the SAME DREAM I have every night in which a Unicorn finally hands me my Bruntwood prize. Here's a picture. (I got the Bruntwood prize wrong, I've never seen one before) #KeepDreaming #PositiveThinking #PrizesMatterNotPlays #SoLonely

Margot the tortoise will play Cathy. As soon as I can find her #comebackmargot #ididntmeanit #youhaveloadsofpotentialreally

CASTING ANNOUNCEMENT FOR MY NEW PLAY:
James from my drama class will play Tom (his surname is the same as someone else's so he can't use it)

[Unsung Playwright @UnsungPlaywrite]

Edna from Number 26 will play Linda. And she'll improvise her lines because she "isn't reading that shit"

Giving this literary manager feedback on their feedback. #40Yearsexperience #listentome

[Unsung Playwright @UnsungPlaywrite]

Also, ALWAYS just finish with "Regards." Anything else is needy. Put all the other things you're doing in your e-mail signature so they REALLY know they missed out.

[Unsung Playwright @UnsungPlaywrite]

When a theatre follows up a rejection with some feedback, always respond. Make sure your response is longer than the feedback, to show your skills with words. #amwriting #writetip #industryhack

They might ask you to keep an eye out for future opportunities. This is a lie. They want to steal your eyes.

Sarah Kane has a rich and complex legacy.

Only 48 hours til @bruntwoodprize . I'm drafting my prize money invoice with my play so I look really professional. #amwriting #industryhack

Can someone get my agent on the phone? Just dial random numbers. I'll know who they are when I hear their voice.

So today I found out that "shorts" are short plays, not things you wear on your bum. I feel so silly. And covered in ink.

[Unsung Playwright @UnsungPlaywrite]

Remember friends, scratch nights are just a term. Don't do what I did and turn up with a tube of vagisil to offer around. #writetip #everyonemakesmistakes

[Unsung Playwright @UnsungPlaywrite]

Short plays are hard. You have to write paragraphs where they explain everything that happens in the long version of the play because that's what short plays all want to be. #writetip #empathy

[Unsung Playwright @UnsungPlaywrite]

I think I've got a pretty good shot at this. 200 pages still fits in a pint-glass, right?

Please add: My mum. Who read some of my play and re-wrote it with the apostrophes in the right place.

[Unsung Playwright @UnsungPlaywrite]

Putting all my rejection letters into a big folder. One days I'm going to tip-ex my name out and write the name of the person who sent it when I tell them they can't have my play.

[Unsung Playwright @UnsungPlaywrite]

Not long now til @bruntwoodprize . I mean....if you believe in that sort of thing. I actually think all the photos are fakes. Like the moon landing and every relationship I've ever had.

[Unsung Playwright @UnsungPlaywrite]

What's your @bruntwoodprize pseudonym?
Mine's my name.
Nobody's heard of me.

Writing a new piece in which I turn Easter into a metaphor for Brexit. All of my political views are espoused by Jesus and £350 million is rolled away on the side of a stone to reveal Boris Johnson tap dancing. Not sure what that bit means yet but can't rush art.
