An idea (well, a title) for an alternative Christmas play.
Perhaps two actors, with echoes of Godot. Would need to be funny. And Christmas-y in the way that Anthony Neilson managed with God In Ruins and Conor Macpherson with The Seafarer.
Set in the present day or perhaps in theatrical golden age? Probably best to be contemporary.
Could start with two actors but broaden out.
In their dressing rooms pre-show? And following the action through the course of the panto? Could be the Christmas Eve performance. Other actors, friends, lovers, whoever popping in...

Don't get me wrong, I thoroughly enjoyed doing the Two Day Intensive Film-making course at the Met Film School in London a couple of weekends ago. For Radio 4 drama commissioning, pitch documents are really important. Apart from your track-record, they're all your producer has got as they try to steer your proposal through the commssioning rounds (although smaple scenes are sometimes requested). Last night was the first Scene & Heard show I've been too... and one of the most enjoyable nights I've spent at the theatre for a long time. A fun night at the Kowalsky Gallery on Wednesday, and thanks to Alex Topham-Tyerman for her performance of my response to Phil Ashcroft's Where You Go I Go Too. |
