    I used this video to help me write my 80 minute solo comedy/drama play, "Foes of a Minimum Wage Guard"! It was well received during the summer! Local critics think this production is the world's first original solo play of its kind to tackle the themes of retail crime and shoplifting! Thank you for this informative video that helped me!

    As a student I would sit on the couch in his Studio in the Meatpacking district. Knowing that such huge names as Kline and Gandolfini and Close and countless other great names preceded you. Then he would work with you. By the time you got up from that couch, He had coaxed out of you a monumentally better performance then you could’ve done by yourself. He is still missed by many.

  • @harryturnbull1884
    @harryturnbull1884 3 місяці тому

    I see a lot of this race to cut the froth these days, by which I mean your reference to starting late. So, instead of a lot of small talk, the characters get down to business straight away with maybe an abrupt comment. When did this come about, this 'new' idea? I have watched and read a few classical stage plays, most recently A Long Day's Journey Into Night, and I must admit I almost switched off. It was lengthy, turgid drivel about nothing before action started. Therefore I am not disagreeing with you but given the 'new' philosophy why arent directors cutting out this waffle or why are these plays full of tedious exchanges still regarded as part of the great canon?

      Ten years dude? How come? In saying that I've been working on a script on and off for a few years and only by gathering opinion and realising it needs a lot more work. In fact I had emailed to me yesterday a script assessment that was free to a number of applicants and I was lucky to be chosen. It was very useful in pointing as to how the story and characters should develop and the superfluous stuff that needs ditching.
