Penning Ideas

I have had the idea over the past while to begin to draft a play. After an incredible experience performing in a play called 'Gutted' at Edinburgh Fringe - I've decided there's no time like the present to start making my idea a reality.
If you have a good idea for a play / poem / or song I feel it is important to pen it down. I have always been a keen creative writer, however, I have never written a play before. I'm not quite sure how to tackle it - but I know I have plenty of friends and acquaintances who would happily read drafts and offer me advice.
Edinburgh Fringe was so inspiring - so many creatives in the one bubble, it was an actor's playground - that I feel I have to channel that inspiration somehow now that I am back in London.
I have no set time limit to complete my project - it may take one week to complete one draft - or one year. Who knows. Scratch nights aren't going anywhere anytime soon so I figured - once I do have a decent shape to my work (and potentially actors who would be passionate to perform the work with me) I can always showcase the play then.


Here's to writing... That's my Saturday night sorted. Living on the wild side I am.

  1. Hi Eleanor

    I hope you get to see this email. It's from Amanda (BAPP Hons course Middlesex. I started with you but needed to take a year off and you all graduated without me.

    I am back on the course now for the last 12 weeks and would love to be able to contact each other again. I would be interested to know how you and everybody got on and I wondered if you would be willing to take part in my Inquiry "Feminism - The Changing Role of Women in Performing Arts". Please reply to this blog when you get it.
    Thanks
    Amanda
