Anyone here ever written plays? Although I'm no expert about play production and acting, I have always been very interested in theater. I am very fascinated (obsessed) with Shakespeare and Tennessee Williams, as well as various other playwrights. But I've never attempted writing a play until recently. Funny thing is, that once I started writing the first one, I immediately started getting ideas for other plays. I don't know if any of them will be good, but I'm hoping to have them read through and evaluated professionally so I can get some of them published at some point.
It's pretty intimidating, actually, writing in a genre that I've always had some high respect for yet never actually done. I've been very open about advice I can get from anyone and anywhere about writing plays. It's been a learning experience so far, for sure. I can't imagine what kinds of comments a professional reader might make about my plays - I know a guy who took a playwriting class, and the teacher was brutal with him. But them again, he wrote a really bad play for that class. LOL. I hoping mine aren't that bad!
If anyone here's written or play, or better yet, had one published or produced, do you have any advice for me?
