When Less is More
October 14th, 2010
Building up to the moment I mentioned in an earlier post this week, I was looking for just the right words. Some feedback I had gotten with a recent draft of this play (when it was full of monologues), was that these characters were still looking for the words to talk with one another.
And so, I realized that my ability to pull back… to actually make the moment simpler with LESS words would provide the impact I was looking for. It would give the characters and actors the actual space to find one another.
Restraint and an editing eye and ear are oftentimes more valuable than volumes of words can be.
