On and Off and On again...(see, you know things are going well when you quote Status Quo instead of Oscar Wilde)

My latest play, "All Mod Cons" was commissioned by Net Curtains Theatre Company
back In January as part of its planned project on the 1953 floods. I wrote three drafts, then went to London for a workshop in April. This was AMAZING. I saw a real director and real actors at work, and the play seemed to be flying. The workshop lasted four hours. Oh yeah, and Terry Johnson sat in too. It was the first time I'd had my work 'done' by professionals since univ, when Debra Gillet and Henry Goodman read a script of mine. (I don't know what they were paid, but it wasn't enough) Anyway, a week later, I heard from Net Curtains that they'd decided not to produce my play. They said that they felt it was potentially a full length play and they didn't want to curb my artistic vision or something. Hmm. Anyone for a two hour play about a natural disaster from an unknown writer? Royal Court? West Yorkshire Playhouse? Thought not.
Anyhoo, got a message last week on my work phone (how the HELL did they get the number?) saying one of the playwrights on their triple bill has flounced and taken his lovely play with him. And would I come back on board.
Of course I said fuck off, the National wants to stage it at the Olivier and Spielberg's in a bidding war with Tarantino for the big screen options............. ;)
I've just sent Net the 4th Draft.
