VillageBoi: @ mufex...

I just opened this... not read it yet but checked how long it is and saw 'Curtain falls' at the end... so I checked page 1...

Is this a stage play? If so the formatting is wrong... they are not written in screenplay format... and if it is a screenplay the readers will most probably not go past the 1st paragraph once they read the first sentence - "MRS. DORA LARRY enters the stage. No one 'enters the stage' in a screenplay.

Since you have said it is a 'play' do use the right format for stage writing or you will probably face the same 'bin it immediately ' treatment from the readers for using a screenplay format.

Remeber in competitions/festivals they have hundreds if not thousands of others to read. You're asking for it to be put in the trash immediately. Don't give them an instant reason to drop yours for wrong formatting... they won't know it could be a brilliant story.

So have to make your mind up what this actually is and use the right format and terminology.

Also from something Prof said; 'wry smile' won't cut it in a stage play - people seated at the back of the theatre will never see it. In a screenplay it's ok to use as the lens is the eye that will definitely pick up on such small details.

I could be wrong about the format (no idea if it's changed in the last few years) as I don't write stage plays but I'm pretty certain almost everything goes on the right handside of the page; not all the way across as a screenplay.

I'll read it when I get back home and comment; not that I'm into stage plays.

And since you use Final Draft... select the right format when writing anything.

Thanks a lot, village boy. I will go through the guidelines again and i will be very glad to see your opinion on the script.

I used final draft to write it.

thanks, bro

prof800: is the script okay?

prof800: okay..i've read but i don't even know where to start...

I am half cast...and I am writing it for an american short play festival, bro.

Pls, I need honest opinions on this script...read and tell me what you think. I am writing it for a festival.
Thanks.

It doesnt matter what he graduated with..the man is a great man. Africa is the only part of world they place a lot of emphasis to degree..abstract knowledge...and little emphasis on the real knowledge.the greatest writer ever, shakespeare never went to a university...greatest musician john lennon was a dropout. Abraham lincoln, thomas edison, disney...wright brothers, king sunny ade, edward albee. None of these people went to university. University is just a place they teach you a lot of things you dont need... Lot of crap. They don't teach you how to be rich, how to be happy. We need creative minds and not stupid degrees. We have a lot of graduates and Nigeria is still in a mess.

How would a man be so glad killing another man? I pray they stop organised religions in this world...bloody gays!

No bi my concern.

That is right.

Cholls: I give glory to God!

My brother how chuch service today? Hope it was awesome? I had a great time with God today and u will be the first person am reading his post.
So not to deviate from the topic u said u want to marry because of your boredom.
Well marriage is a good thing and the. Bible also made us to know "He Who Finds A Wife Has Found A Good Thing"....But again my brother there Is one thing I will want to ask and it is this, apart from the boredom what other reasons are u going into marriage for? Pls if u can answer this question I believe u will get a very good advice from people here.

I do the same things everyday....go to work...go club on weekend...everything is no more fun. Then it hit me this morning why don't you get married. You earn a decent living, don't you? You have a girlfriend you love?

Godson201333: Bros you get problem gaan ,were you not thesame Guy that posted on Health section that you smoke almost a pack of cigarette in a day?LOL Lord have Mercy

Yeah, I am the same guy. I have ceased smoking now...at least for a week.

I am a male.

Is it wrong wanting to get married just because you are bored? My life is so boring right now that I am thinking about marriage. I need someone's advice.

I have heard and watched the guy on television and internet. He is a motivational speaker, very witty and funny.

Where can I buy a screenplay writing software in Nigeria., Pls.

I really enjoyed the movie....I think probably it is the best Bond movie ever made. The acting was amazing, the story line intriguing.

No, absolutely not. There will be online distribution of the movie, and also cinemas distribution, before DVD sales.
And also the return on investment is reasonably good.

I have written a movie script, and I need an investor for the movie. It's a comedy laced with wry humor, and realistic storyline.

Nothing will ever stand between me and my cigar.
Cigar I love you,
Only you know what I have been through-
You cure my pain;
Thrust my sorrows down the drain.

Nothing will ever stand between me and my cigar,
When I am bored I've something to hold;
U warm my brain when it's cold,
Cleanse suicide thoughts from my head;
U r the best I've had...

Nothing will ever stand between me and my cigar,
Nothing will ever stand between me and my cigar;
(Nothing, Nothing, nothing...)
Nothing will ever stand between me and my cigar.

How can I treat a toothache without seeing a dentist? I went to a dentist and he's charging my arm, and leg. His price is just too much. Help!
