I can remember the second play I ever wrote. The first one was obvious crap, plainly derivative of whichever hentai anime I'd just seen, but the second one was pretty good if I may say so. I'd written it as microtheatre; there were about forty speaking parts and the action was entirely focused on the first passing stranger that came by. It was performed four times live, in the street, and yes, it worked. Someone who'd seen the third performance came up to me afterward and said they really liked it and they wanted to adapt it for radio. I had my doubts, but I agreed. I thought it didn't work as well as a radio play, but that was probably sour grapes because I only had a consulting role. A lot more people heard it on the radio than saw it in the street; it was adapted back for microtheatre by someone who had heard it while tripping. Someone in the audience of the doubly-revised street version thought it was just fan-fucking-tastic and got an option to adapt it for television. After that it became a short film, a different radio serial, another microtheatre production, then "avant-garde" theatre, whatever the hell that is - I never actually saw that one - then a computer game, then a different television series, then another microtheatrical production; it then appeared at a poetry reading and was adapted once more as a radio play. After all this, the only line that survived from the original was: RENDRI (sarcastically) Bad language and hating budgies... |
