A Walk Across the Rooftops
June 19. I found a coffee shop that has free internet for customers. Hurray! Still has a time limit, though, but hey. I'll take what I can get.
The Reading.
This is a short play called "The Murder of Love." It follows the progression of a marriage and each scene uses the exact same dialog and blocking. It's only the changes in punctuation, inflection, and tone from the actors that we see how the couple destroy their relationship. I had 2 really good actors who had played with it very well, which is what I wanted. I was fortunate to have the reading early and on the first day because people are excited to be there, not tired or burned out yet, and so their comments were constructive. Everyone loved it... (!!!) Several people came up to me in the afternoon and told me that if they were awarding Best Play I should get it. Sweet. It's the first day, though, and there are 85 more plays being read.
Mosquitos are everywhere, more than I've ever seen. I haven't been bitten once yet, though. Maybe my smooth chocolate princess skin is too rich for them. HAAA!
They're glaring at me in the cafe so I've gotta go. BIG, of course.
Smooches!
