Here are two essential insider tips to help you get started on the road to becoming a great Play Writer:
Insider tip 1 - Write 'small' and the Play will be 'BIG'.
As a PlayWriter you will want to write small. Think in terms of a singular setting. Consider some of the best plays of all time: Death of a Salesman, The Glass Menagerie, and Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? All of these plays take place in a single setting: one room, or one unchanging collection of rooms. Keep in mind the unities of Time, Place and Action and you won't go far wrong.
Insider tip 2 - Test your Dialogue.
In order to test your dialogue, get to know some actors and then ask them to read your work aloud. A good actor has a sense of character, and will tell you if what is on the page "feels right". You may not agree, however, the experience definitely will be useful. A play must be heard to really be understood. Hearing your words come to life will tell you whether or not you achieved what you had in mind. This peice of advice is invaluable!
