Hello Ivan!
Interesting play--since it will have a niche audience, I see it being performed in a bar, a living room, or backstage of a theatre with an invitational audience seated at small tables and in chairs and having drinks and light snacks. There are no exits for the performers; they simply sit with the audience until their next cue, a la Grotowski. Everything can then be filmed at the same time with multiple cameras.
The play you have chosen to submit is not "drama" by the definition we discussed in the workshop, in the sense that nothing "big" is at stake. It is, however, an interesting vignette and commentary, although the subject matter is not something that has never been addressed before. Its success rests greatly on ingenious staging.
Proofread and polish your manuscript. Cast your friends as characters. Let us have a reading when we meet.
