I finished a rough cut of a play (fulllength--2 plus hours) on Elan (I call it Galileo).
I think it has the wattage and the swearing and the psychological games and subtleties that are needed for translating this to people in an audience. And oh, it has very...harsh actions. It's based squarely on LIFE.
I am sorry I cannot YET make the play available at my site; but yes, just working with the people; some of the still sick ones (all have PTSD, as do you, and I believe ALL should have compensatory damages and paid therapy!) that are "rabid" and hell, it really got TO ME.
Thank you for sharing that. I don't believe in "ending a script" till it's pubbed or filmed. In performance, as an actress and writer, I know it's helpful to receive direction, to see things in their 3 dimensions.
It's finished though, it's also in the hands of several people so that they can send it if I get sick and I'm waiting for word from some that have just received or are getting it, I worked FAST since I began the "final draft" in November, Mid I think... It's in print, backed up CDs, and on multiple computers. It has strong supporters, men and women up here :smokin:
Men seldom, or rather never for a length of time, and deliberately, rebel against anything that does not deserve rebelling against.
