Plays

When I started writing, I remember wishing to create a play. Once I'd realized that even though I love comedies, I'll never write one, it became easier to tackle a plot and start working on one.
My (first) play is a tragedy. It's dark and sad, and it's inspired by facts I've read about in the papers.
I haven't forgotten that I promised to upload the first page; it's just that I have formatted it, but not edited it yet... but you'll get to see it. And once I get a proper copyright protection, I might even post the entire thing here for the whole world to read.
From the start, my title was Three Thousand Paper Cranes, because there are three acts, and one thousand paper cranes in each. Now, I'm beginning to think that just Paper Cranes might work. I really think I'm going to change the title, which shows that letting texts simmer a tad can be a very good thing.

As well, I think I quite like the format of a play, and I've got two new ideas that I think I'll start working on soon-ish.
