Fine Tuning

February 5th, 2010

“Business” has made it to the top of the list once more…The big changes I made to some of the character arcs, as well as some logistical scene rearranging have made a world of difference. It’s still the same story it always was, but it’s clearer what everyone’s motives are, and why they are where they are at top of the show.

As a playwright, my biggest challenge is transferring what’s in my head to the page — knowing when it’s clear enough for the audience and where they might need a bit of hand holding.

The fine tuning now at hand mainly deals with back-story… I want to be sure to keep the integrity of a family dynamic, as when families talk amongst themselves, they know their own history and don’t spell it out for one another, but still be sure the audience is on the same page.

It’s the trickiest part, finding the language of a family or anyone relating to another in any relationship — but when you hit it just so, it’s easily the most satisfying.
