Difficulties Facing the Script
TIME
As we are devising our own script, a huge difficulty we will face with creating the script is time. As devising a script can take time from the first moment you think of an idea to the final script that you are happy with, we are going to have to work quicker than we would intend to work through a script. The quicker we are able to have the script finished the more time that the actors will be able to learn the script and begin developing their characters.
STORY
Although we will be adapting a story that is already written, we will be creating our own storyline from this basis. The story must flow, have an understanding and also stick to the type of theatre we are wanting to create, therefore children’s theatre for adults. As we have looked at The Bloody Chamber and The Snow Child which are both written by Angela Carter I feel that my best script work will be produced by creating the images I envisage whilst reading the stories, while also maintaining the language that she uses within the stories.
CONTINUITY
As we were having three members of our team write the script, it will be the first time that we as a trio have written a script together and as a team. As we all have different writing styles, ideas and imaginations this could lead us to develop a difference of opinions in terms of where the story will lead and to what may happen within the script.
