I've checked their website, but no mention of it there either...
Anyone followed this up?
For anyone else interested in submitting a one act play for this competition, I will post the details here when/if I get them...
Unless someone here beats me to it.
And good luck with your entry.
I am wondering if this compo was really only meant for readers of the Stage, where it was also apparently mentioned.
Do the staff of WN look at these threads? I had hoped someone from the magazine would have popped by to clarify why important details were left out of the article.
I received the entry form today, thank you. Nice timeing as I was just putting the finishing touches to my entry. And, as the form says I can enter two one-act plays, this is exactly what I shall do :-)
Got them all printed off and ready to go to the post office tomorrow morning, so they should get to Hitchen before the deadline.
Thanks for the help and once again, good luck with your entry. I believe they are looking for 4 winners? But who knows how many will be sent in... Usually these things attract hundreds of entries...
Apparently my play (a one act job) will be performed at the end of April.
To be honest; I'm thrilled :)
I hope all of you near to Hitchen can come along and support the event.
It's to be performed at the end if April and there is said to be a video too, so maybe I can get that out to any interested parties.
Odly enough, the idea from this came after I watched a play in Hamburg. In that one, a man with a gun was threatening another man, but I never felt the tension or the threat. It just didn't seem as though anyone was really in danger. It wasn't the actors fault, they were very good, it was simply that the writer hand't give them the words to create that tension. Instead they had these one-liners which were inserted as though really that's all the audiance would need to enjoy a good night out.
On the way home, I thought I might try to write something better. This winning entry is the result. Whether or not it is better... We shall see... I'm awake here at 6 am, woken by a nightmare where someone heckled me while I was collecting my prize...
Odd what dreams can do to you...
To me this seems to be a somewhat alarming securty worry... Don't you think?
I know we asked Webbo last year about this, and at the time he couldn't find a reason or answer to it occuring.
Things go okay for weeks then it occurs for a few days, then rights itself.
Apparently the temporary solution is to log off and then back on, and the problem should right itself.
(It could even come down to not having the forum at all, at one extreme.)
The majority of the members usually realise that a substitution has happened, or someone else will query the identity.
If you are really worried about it, then I suggest you e-mail Webbo and explain your concerns, and see if there is anything he can do.
I'm not making light of your concerns Random, just being realistic.
I think the moral of the story is to keep in touch with your Talkback friends on a regular basis.
I like this forum, I just miss some of he bells and whistles of other forums I use.
It was a special moment. Made all those years of scribbling seem worth it :)
Moral of this story? If I can do it, so can you. Keep scribbling...
