It was first draft read through this week. I went second. But after I read John read. His script was very naturalistic and the actresses in our group loved it. They could imagine acting it. They wanted to act it. My script was more existential. I'm not jealous. But now I have to go back trash the first half of my draft and re start the play in the middle which was where people started to follow my play.
Reading a first draft of a ten minute play outloud - Cynthia: Lawrence: Scene: etc was very intense. The ten minute play format guarantees that everyone gets a go and is listened to across the three hours. At the end of the night we walked out under the starry sky having learnt more about our writing than we had ever before.
