I'm working on a play right now that is deceptively simple, and is kicking my ass.
Premise: Five teenagers try to get their hands on some beer. Simple and fun, right?
Problem: Lights up on five teenagers in a room. Lights down. The teenagers in question are of a world where their vocabulary is...impoverished, shall we say (f-bombs every sentence). Their town is tiny, their outlook hasn't yet expanded beyond the county line. Gotta keep it moving, gotta keep things turning. I LOVE these characters, I KNOW these characters, but it's harder than I thought.
Thank you, Brian O'Malley, for your admittedly cutesy but nonetheless inspiring post.
Once more into the breach.
