PLAYWRITING – Day 49
As a follow-up to yesterday’s subtext writing exercise, we read from original Harold Pinter’s “Betrayal” Then we continued to write subtext…this time using Noel Coward’s “Private Lives” as our inspiration…
Elyot and Amanda have been married and divorced.
In the first, famous scene of the play they meet on the joined
terrace of a hotel in France. They have just remarried other people that
very day. They are shocked to find each other so near. They try to act
like nothing much has happened and they are not affected.
Mark lines in your script that say one thing, but mean another.
PLAYWRITING homework:
In 2-sides (writing on every line), write a scene in which two characters express love for each other. They will never say the words “I love you.” They will never refer to their own feelings for each other. But it is vital that the audience understand that these feelings exist.
