Just back from seeing the rehearsal of one of my plays- From Bodrum with Love. Unfortunately I couldn't make the one last week so missed seeing the run through of Dinner for Five.
Initial thoughts? Good, surprisingly so!
Often when you see your work performed or read it doesn't sound quite the way it did in your head when you wrote it- no fault of the actors of course, just individual interpretation of the script. At tonight's run through though they pretty much had it nailed, especially the two main characters. I like to think this is because my writing has become tighter and more fluent and my characters more well rounded.
Really excited about Saturday now, I got to see a couple of fellow writers work in rehearsal too and there's going to be some good stuff performed

Wow! Exciting stuff. Must be strange having it all out of your hands.
Actually I find that quite exciting. I like the collaborative process- I like writing and wordplay but direction is probably not my strongest skill so I enjoy seeing what someone else can turn it into (of course they could ruin it I suppose but that hasn't happened as yet!) Good luck with your shows, working on the stage with performers is great fun and a big learning curve.
