…don’t break the rules until you know the rules, and in the case of playwriting, the rules are relatively benign and there to help you, guide you and lead you down the path to serving up a treat. Besides, they’re better thought of as tools rather than rules – there to assist you in the art you want to create, in the way you want to create it, rather than hinder, block and obstruct you.
The answers to this question are by no means finite, nor necessarily unequivocal, but always well worth pondering over – and it’s a question I’ve been asking the various members of my writers’ groups this week as I encourage them to get to know themselves as a way of getting to know their craft.
This is the title of a play I will probably wont write. Feel free to use it and let me know if you do. DO YOU HAVE ANY TITLES OF PLAYS YOU WILL NEVER WRITE? If yes, post them here.
Fighting Words is part of the Young People’s Shakespeare (YPS) Week 2011. It is a digital project that uses Shakespeare’s language to inspire young writers to write their own dramatic argument….To watch a trailer for Ola’s latest collaborative project with the Royal Shakespeare Company – click here. Deadline 24 November 2011.
As you write your play, always have these questions ready on the tip of your tongue: ‘Why are you doing this? Is this the best way of going about getting what you want….or is it the only way you know how?’ Either way, your characters’ actions should always be directly related to what they want, otherwise they’re unmotivated and wasting everyone’s time – they might just as well have stayed in bed and left everyone alone to get on with their own business.

Should we be scrutinising the face or are we to find a lot more if we take a closer look at the behind…the dark side…the backside? Is that when people will sit up and notice you?
