My ten pages of script plus treatment have now been submitted to the Picture This team… ten minutes before the deadline!
Next comes the read through, in the Alma Tavern Theatre (in Bristol this Saturday and Sunday) of all the 50 scripts. Eight will be selected for further development and a final five actually staged in the Autumn.
I would normally spend a much longer developing an idea into a script – plus it’s only the second time I’ve ever written for the stage – but all writing experience is good, and no matter how bad it may turn out to be, I am still looking forward to hearing my script being read by real actors.
