Keketso and Dorothy read through the 3rd draft of my play “Two Women” this weekend. It’s finally getting into some decent shape (after frantic rewrites over the weekend.) I keep telling myself I should be better at this, faster, smarter, less prone to the mistakes and habits I keep falling into. But so it goes . . .
Interesting as the drafts are getting better the play becomes more controversial – people have stronger feelings about the characters and what should happens to them. “No, she shouldn’t leave!” “No, she can’t die like that!” Being a writer is kind of amazing – I’ve birthed two new begins into the world that now have to make their way.
The play will premiere in South Africa in July, 2015
Je te suis dans les méandres de l’écriture et te souhaite bon courage!
