My play’s workshop is over. The week went by in an absolute flash. The result? I went in thinking I had a good idea and a pretty good early draft, and came out with a play, complete with text, design concept, ideas for transitions, and even a new title! I couldn’t be happier, and I must publicly thank everyone who participated: the amazing director, John Wright, the insightful and delightful dramaturg Victoria Banks, and a group of extraordinarily talented and generous actors — Rachel Donovan, Oscar Ward, Neil Haigh, Matthew Steer and Daniel Abelson. And now, I create the new draft based on our rewrites and discussions and then look for a producer. Yes, we are going to put this play on the boards somewhere, somehow, and my only hope is that I don’t have to produce it myself. So if any of you out there in blogland know of someone or some group that might be interested in producing a new play by a new, “emerging” playwright, directed by one of Britain’s most innovative and well-established directors, let me know! We’ll do lunch……
I’m rubbish with technology…I would probably wear a mac…The rest sounds busy busy busy though!
Wow! That sounds awesome, Sue – so great to come out of the workshop with so much done. I wish you the best of luck in finding a producer!
And no, sorry, can’t help on the technical side.
I used to have exactly the same problem and there is an easy solution – you just need to compress your images.
I have a PC so am not sure how you do it on a Mac but when you open an image on your computer there should be an edit option that you can select and inside that there should be an option to compress file or compress pictures. You should get the choice of whether you want to compress it for an e-mail, a document or a web page. If you still have problems let me know….I have a friend that I can ask.
