No. 10 & 11

Two again for today - this is getting to be a bit of a habit...

Number 1: Weather Girl
​

Idioms, proverbial phrases, weird sayings that help totally confuse all non-native English speakers. Take the proverbial and make it literal. 

So...is anyone feeling a bit under the weather?

(Big thanks to M Night Shyamalan for the truly appalling 'The Happening' which, as I wrote WEATHER GIRL, I realised clearly contributed to my inspiration for this ridiculous end-of-the-world play)

Number 2: BOY/GIRL/OTHER

The challenge today from our lovely task master Sebastian was to write a gender-neutral play (emphasis on the pronouns) with a side order of sexuality and gender.

Writing gender neutral is trickier than I thought it was going to be - I wanted to avoid all pronouns whatsoever which led to some interesting challenges. I think it went ok...

    1 play, every day, 29 days
    February 2015

    Every day of February 2016, Lila will write and share a short play based on a theme set by The Space as part of the 28 Plays Later challenge. 

    Will she make it? Will they be any good? Will some of them be written on the last tube home at 11.30 at night? Let's find out...

    With thanks to The Space performing arts centre.
