The script for The Craftsman is locked and loaded and ready to print! In fact I ordered the print job this morning and now it's just a matter of getting to May 10 to see how it flies!
I have to say I'm happy with the result. I think the characters are well drawn and some of the scenes are among my best writing. It has been quite a journey. I could go on tweaking it forever, but at some point you just have to say: enough . . . stop and enjoy the ride.
And what a ride it has been. Until I started taking this in to the workshop I had never envisioned Martha being read by a man, but once the idea hit to have Wallace do it, it's hard to imagine it otherwise. It adds an element of fun to it that wouldn't have been there otherwise, which, considering the material, isn't a bad thing.
It is a comedy after all!
So I pick up the scripts this evening, mark the stage directions I am going to read, and distribute the scripts on Tuesday . . . and then wait for May 10.
It will be interesting to say the least.
