Bouvre Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 (edited) I was approached by the people who run the city's new art center to write a short play (10 minutes) for the 48-Hour Theater Festival. We have until 7:30 AM tomorrow to have it complete. The prompt we all voted on at 7:30 PM today was: Stupid Ghost I can't go into much detail. But I can say that I am proud to have written a line of dialogue that includes the sentence, "Fuck, fuck, shit on my balls" and look forward to hearing a stranger say it on stage tomorrow night.

Poof Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 If I was going to see a short play in 2018 they better say shit like that otherwise what are we doing? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilosipherStoned Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 (edited) I wrote a ten minute play once. Not under the premise that it was actually going to be performed though. That sounds exciting congrats. Edited January 13, 2018 by PhilosipherStoned 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrigunBebop Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Just from that one line alone, that sounds like I play I'd definitely watch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've arrived at the space, and was instantly told by my director that they took some big liberties with my script, so now with everybody that's praised my work at this point, I'm worried they're praising the wrong person.

Bouvre Posted January 14, 2018 Author Share Posted January 14, 2018 Consensus from the people who run the art center: it was a solid first play, scriptwise. My director is probably legally insane. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
