PLAYWRITING

I have written a couple of plays in the past. Having been to numerous plays, I'm drawn to the dialogue by the actors. I also like the various positions the performers in their scenes. 

Sometimes dialogue can be a challenge for me. Part of the reason is that I am a quiet and reserved person. When I write a play I'm concerned that it will be too short because of not enough dialogue.

When I read the works of Neil Simon, Edward Albee, and William Shakespeare, I'm amazed by the volume of works produced. Ancient Greek playwrights are fascinating in that their works often reflect everyday life. 

I wrote a play about the three days in between Jesus's  crucifixion and burial and his resurrection. I tried to capture the intense emotions Jesus friends were feeling during that time. It was challenge but I welcomed it and believed that I succeeded in writing it. I wrote the play over fifteen years ago and still have it in my possession. 

Once I learn more about playwriting I will take a stab at writing another one.
