While life has been difficult in one way or another for just about everyone lately, I was recently reminded that it can also deliver nice surprises right when you need them. About six weeks ago, I answered a call for submissions from a theatre company in the United Kingdom called INK. They were seeking two-minute duologue plays designed for radio. I've certainly written very (very) short plays before, but not specifically geared for the radio. But I thought, what the heck. I'll give it a go. I had a premise for the play, and the first draft took me roughly 30 minutes to write. I then returned to it the next day, made a few edits and then fired off my brand new two minute duologue, Finding Balance to INK. To my surprise and delight INK selected the play for broadcast on BBC Radio Suffolk! I don't believe any of my work has ever been performed by a U.K. theatre company before, so I was especially excited by the news. The artistic team at INK and Jon Wright of Radio Suffolk who interviewed me after the play live (eek!) could not have been kinder, and the actresses, Jill Freud and Esther Freud (yes, they're related to THAT Freud) who performed the piece were terrific! If you'd like to hear my very (very) short play followed by the interview, just click on the BBC Radio Suffolk logo at the top of this post. After a few seconds of earwormy dance music, Jon segues into his intro of the play. Hope you enjoy it! 🤞 # # # Need a script writer
