Quite a few people adding me lately, so here's a quick update: the play went down well. We received quite a few laughs, we didn't get kicked out of our Catholic college with our Jeremy Kyle/Jerry Springer type Nativity, and I managed to get the exact responses from the audience with my "Applaud" and "Boo" signs. I call that a success.
Production of the play continues. The cast are getting their lines down, and taking on whatever feedback they can. This day next week, it goes on stage, accompanied by an adaptation of The Dead by James Joyce, and a parody of Twilight.
Thanks for the add Paul. Your script sounds interesting - where are you rehearsing it - Dublin? I'm down in Waterford myself - would love to write music for your if you're ever in need :) You can see my demo reel on www.Soundtrack.ie Hope to speak to you soon Emmett...

Hi Emmett, Yeah, we're rehearsing in Dublin. It's a small college performance. I'll keep you in mind if I ever need music! Thanks for popping by, Paul.
Great thanks Paul :)

Very happy with the script, but we're under a lot of pressure to get people to learn lines in a relatively short amount of time while still managing to keeping up with lectures and assignments. C'est la vie!

It's been a while since I signed in here. I think part of me still doesn't feel like I "belong" here - my acting is limited to college, and I have an on-again, off-again relationship with script writing. Sure we'll see what happens. I'll try get on more often.
I'm curious: are there any writers out there who direct their own plays? Mamet did it a few times with his work, with little success as a director. Is it a good idea? If you do it, what advice can you give to get the best out of the script without being overly protective of it?
A director can see things the writer misses and add to the mix. But it's up to you (in theatre) to allow any real changes. My thoughts are "if they make the piece better" - great. As far as not being...
Expand commentA director can see things the writer misses and add to the mix. But it's up to you (in theatre) to allow any real changes. My thoughts are "if they make the piece better" - great. As far as not being protective of your script. That's really all up to your maturity and knowledge of the situation. Have you worked with actors? Have you worked with lighting and sound? And, more importantly, isn't there another script you can be working on? IMHO, of course.

Expand commentI have frequently directed my own work (I was also a professional actor). These past few months, I directed a play of mine, Ella's Secret, in Rome Italy in Italian — see the English translation of the reviews. http://www.hwfreedman.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=8... During rehearsals I always rewrite and improve the dialogue, especially with a first production of the piece. I love to experiment, and I enjoy collaborating with talented and intelligent actors. I always listen to suggestions but I don't always agree. I ask the actors to show me not tell me. If what they show me improves the dramatic tension, and conveys the meaning intended with more impact we do it their way or something in between. But you have to be careful, actors, even the best, often have a tendency, especially at the beginning of rehearsals, to adjust the dialogue to make it easier for them to say, less uncomfortable or they try to make it conform to their idea of the character, a character they have an idea of but haven't developed. Once a good actor finds the character, it is not uncommon for them prefer the original dialogue and ask me to change it back. I do of course. Working in Italian, not my mother tongue, is a completely other matter. In English I know how my characters speak. Here the translation, which may be technically correct, may not reflect the way people, the characters, actually speak. In fact, it was fascinating to work on the dialogue with the actors, they truly brought the language to life. This was a play that I had directed in English and I thought was done. It wasn't done. I made changes on every page of the translation, and because of the meticulous way the actors examined the dialogue to understand the intent and the meaning, and then how they struggled to find the right word or phrase in Italian, I have now revised my English text for the better. As for staging, I ignore my own stage directions (usually very sparse in the script) and come up with a new approach. This production looked nothing like my previous production of the same play. This one was better. An adventure.

Expand postHi everyone, I'm an aspiring writer from Dublin, aged 21. I dabble in acting in college, with the Drama Soc putting on a play I wrote this year. I'm always looking for work and conversation, so if you can provide either please pop along and say hi. I mainly write fiction (novellas and novels), but I take the time to write articles, poems and, more recently, theatrical works. Currently working on another play to present to a director for my final year in college. Studying to be a teacher of Religion and English, but I won't be rushing into it immediately. As a friend of mine says, we're not here for a long time, we're here for a good time. Writing is my passion, acting my escape; the arts are my life and my love. Don't be a stranger! Paul.
