Had another bad thought last night,

What if, to ensure the success of the west end production they have already got a big star signed up...... I wonder if i could expand the part of the one legged albino juggler, who gets killed in act one in a horrible ironing board accident, to fit Judy Dench......anyone know if Michael Gambon can tap dance?.....oh dear, never mind too late now! Wink

Good look to you all, and remember all killer no filler.

Oh God Playfull - we've submitted the same concept!

Don't tell me you've also included the big ending scene where Philip Scofield turns out to by a hypnotist midget then explodes after eating that dynamite-loaded pastie made by Princess Anne?!

Maybe we could re-enter as a writing duo?

At least that way we could share the cost of the libel and slander cases!

Or turn it into a franchise opportunity!

'Theatres in your area need plays now!'

'Learn how to adapt our star vehicle play using local names and locations'


Now who could we get to market a concept like that?

Hi Playfull

We really are in tune!!!

I honestly came up with that idea as a bone fide business opportunity a few months ago! My first submission is a comedy, all about a 'local' advertising agency - and as it was written originally for my local AmDram theatre as a fundraiser, it was crammed with local, topical references, all of which I'd put in a different colour so the Director could adapt it - and so any other in any AmDram theatre in the UK could 'localise' it.

Sadly, it's been done. Can't remember the URL, but a search in Google will find it!

So I went back to the play, took out ALL the local references and submitted it to TPTT - then wrote a second, very different one!

Ah, well - back to the West End as my Great White Hope!
