wrote a play by mistake

...
whoops
wrote a play by mistake
how did that happen?
am meant to be writing a poetry show and i go off on a flight of fancy
follow it
keep following it
wake up in morning thinking about it and
pretty soon
crashbangwhoops have written a play by accident
...

twenty years in the thinking
three days in the writing

forever in the revision

two hander bedroom farce
couple stuck in eternal hotel room find they are writing the same acutely self-referential piece about a couple stuck in a hotel room
rapidfire dialogue... post modern pisstake...
where post post modernism turns out to be modernism all over again... because ... [but that would be giving it away]
which passes for a happy ending

...
four cheers for modernism
...

90 mins, 11000 words [currently 8] so probably unusable
...

what normally happens is that i decide a piece is crap and forget about it for five years before deciding it might just be ok

...

which is much like how i buy shirts

... buy it, decide its awful, wheel it out five years later and think, it ain't so terrible

...

forever in the revision

...

and how long is forever?
