My Play, The Art of Love, will be produced in 2010 but before that, I want to hear it read. This will happen, informally, on December 11, 2009 at Swedenborg Hall. Here is all the information:
The Play
There are seven women and two men playing 14 parts. The play takes place alternately in the "real" and a "fantasy" world. The theme is how women fight. There are at least five opportunities for stage combat for women.
The Rules of Engagement Website
The Place
Swedenborg Hall is the artistic center of the Swedenborgian Church of San Diego. Don't worry, it's not "churchy" they embrace all beliefs. Their website.
The Event
The very informal event will be from 6 to 8:00 p.m. and include:
Information from the playwright and director;
Some fun, safe, stage combat for whomever wants to participate;
The reading (everyone who wants to will be allowed to read with role-sharing);
A post-reading discussion.
The Things We Want To Know
1. What is the look, feel and culture of the "fantasy" scenes?
2. What types of stage combat would be fun to see?
3. What is the feasibility of producing the play?
4. Without re-writing the play, what did you like/dislike and what would you change?
