PLAYWRITING – Day 17

 

MANTRA:

Drama thrives only when characters are

in crisis, in extremes, in trouble.

 

 

Today you will continue scripting your latest scenes. These scenes should be 5 – 10 pages in length.

REMEMBER: No matter how sweet and innocent your leading characters, make awful things happen to them - in order that the reader may see what they are made of. 

After attendance, go to Lab 100…do not sit near a good friend. This is a writing session.

 

PLAYWRITING homework:
