Dramaturgy for TheatreWorks Singapore: _Mixed_ by Raemae

Hello Raemae!

It's been a long journey, but you've proven to have the constant passion and the tenacity to see your play through. After two rounds of dramaturgy and an informal reading I was fortunate enough to sit in five months ago, I am pleased to reread your play and see that you've made very judicious changes/additions.

Technically, each act in your play is really a cluster of scenes; you might want to reconsider calling your divisions not acts but something else, in case the definitive, post-production, version of your play finds publication.

Proofread your manuscript once again, especially for grammar, and clean it up before submitting it to TheatreWorks for a staged reading. Keep in mind that the staged reading will have a director and a professional cast, and be open to their suggestions. Theatre is teamwork after all, and the last thing you want is a director and a cast that will be unhappy rehearsing a play they don't feel comfortable with, night after night.

In the meantime, congratulations! If I'm lucky I might be in the audience for your staged reading.
