Challenge 1 – Due 02/02 at 09:59:59am GMTShips, boats, water, blue, salt, sea, waves anything to do with this magnificent force.
How about a play about a fish out of water just trying to get by? A family’s day out on the beach gone wrong? A ship in the eye of the storm? Two waves discussing a physical way for them to signal a hello to each other?
Or just write about fear of the sea… I’m not saying that I’m afraid of the sea… but… no! Hold on! That’s exactly what I’m saying! I’m terrified of it.
Let’s start off easy (this is only the first challenge after all) – so write the play in the style you feel most comfortable in. If you’re a comedy writer, maybe hilarioursarise us with a nautical play about the shenanigans on board a love boat; for the tragedians, who want no tickles in their nautical play, how about a monologue by a captain as the ship sinks slowly; for the philosophical writers out there I posit, how many drops of water do you need to make an ocean? Get some voices to figure that out!; Musical writers – something about Pirates? Maybe set in Cornwall? And you SF writers – a ship? A SHIP?! Does it must be in the water? Yes, it must! But does it must be in the water of the Earth? No, it does not must!
