The Play
I'm writing a new play and I want to share it with you as I write it. The play is titled "English for Beginners" and it follows a group of playwrights on a writer's retreat in the Marin Headlands.
I'm very lucky that a collaborator has agreed to come on board this project with me. Cody Rishell, a wonderful friend and an artist I truly admire, will be adding an illustration to each post. He's a wonderful artist and a huge inspiration for me personally. You can see his art work here: http://www.codyrishell.com/
Over the next few months, I'm going to post a new scene to this blog about every week. I will post the scenes as I write them; as finished and polished as I can. In this way, the play will build episodically. Once a scene is published on the blog, I'll consider it set in stone. No rewrites, no take backs. If I set something up on Act 1, Scene 2, then I can't ignore it in Act 3, Scene 5. I'm going into this with only a very loose outline, only the broadest strokes of character sketches, and worse... only a hint of story. And for better or worse, I'm going to make you all witnesses. And, if I'm very lucky, some of it might even be entertaining.
