PLAY WRITING
Sat, 4 May 2002, 12:03 pmThere are three parts to any theatrical experience: the audience waiting to be entertained; the actors ready to entertain; and the writers who provide the entertaining material that bring the first two together! This website needs a corner for home-grown writers, where they can be nutured and encouraged to write the plays you want to see.
A place where companies and producers can say: 'I'm looking for a play that would suit young people 15 to 20, older people 50 plus, or middle of the road; one act, or two or more; and goes for 25 minutes, fifty minutes, or more.
A place where writers can say: I write one-act plays with absolute minimum props, suitable for small amateur companies - general drama, comedy, and crime.
A place where publishers can trawl for new material to publish.
A place where companies can find plays to read.
What do you think, dear reader?

Well i am talking from my own experience and I've never had much problem getting people to help me with any project and have alot of people keen to help in the future.
I don't mean this to sound like bragging, i just mention this as a fact, that i have had no problems getting people to workshop stuff. I am a member of the Blue Room and stages and while I'm not very active with stages, I am very active at the Blue Room (though I've been bad and missed the last three shows). Does this mean anything? Who knows but I can only talk from my experience which has been excellent.
Basically I haven't made this as sweeping generalisations and grand hyperbole, I have spoken from my own experience.
Cheers
