Challenge 27 – Due 28/02 at 09:59:59am GMT
I feel like I know so much about all of you, so I’ll share back an anecdote (and apologies to veterans from Y1 and Y2 that have heard this before):
Opening night for my first ever full length London run.
I sit in the audience
Tension is filling the air
Excitement
The lights go down
And as the lights go down, the penny drops!
I figured out what I needed to do to the play to make it work.
And then I had to endure three weeks full of disappointment!
I mean, how frustrating is it when you have to deliver something to a deadline, only to realize afterwards what you could have done better.
So this is your opportunity to re-do a challenge. Pick any of the previous 26 challenges we’ve done and write a NEW play following that brief.
I bet you’ve thought of a few better ideas since sending in your first version.
But don’t just re-do the play you did – it has to be a completely different concept!
Bonus point if you re-do the challenge you found most… uhm… challenging!
Challenge 4 - Due 05/02 at 09:59:59am GMT Today we're going to adapt. Find a short story, or a film, or a poem, or a song, or a... uhm... TV show... or... whateves. Make it into a play - try to ensure it's all there - all the characters, all the plots, all the small details, all the dialogue. Sounds impossible in one day? Naaaa... you can do it! You're 3 challenges down... Easy peasy lemon squeezy! Bonus points to anyone who manages to modernise the adaptation and make it their own (whilst still retaining the original) Oh darn it! We're not meant to have bonus points on weekends... uhm... don't tell anyone!
