Brief 27 – Due 28/02 at 09:59:59am GMT
How frustrating is it when you have to deliver something to a deadline, only to realise 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!——————————————————————————-

What’s in your head? Zombies? No… we’ve just done one awesome singer – no need to do another one.
But what is in there? Well, the one thing that makes you special and the one thing that only you have, that internal voice that nobody else but you can hear, and now is the time to let it take over your pen (or more likely, keyboard).
So write stream-of-conciousness, and let the words flow, including all the, uhms… and ooohs… and arghs… and anything else that your brain might… hold on, there’s a arm with the…uhm, who is he pointing at? I mean, can I really even be as a … what’s it called? Uhm… Off! Argh! I forgot what he’s.. uhm… you know, the… oh, never mind. I guess it must be because of the… Sorry. I’m back! I mean, just get busy and let the words flow.
Write a monologue that’s all coming straight from your head without any censorship. Perhaps be brave and write about yourselves, or be less self-indulgent and write about a friend’s story (though keep it all first person).
Maybe even time yourselves! 15 minutes should be long enough. Start the clock, start writing, and don’t stop until the alarm beeps!
Seeing as this task shouldn’t take you long to write, bonus points to anyone who then edits and re-edits and re-re-edits their text to make it perfect. No more ‘sorry, was in a rush, it’s crap!’ emails – send me a piece of writing you’ll be proud of – something you’ll be happy to send to people to read!
