Dear Athena
I have a problem, and I desperately need your help. I have no one else that I can talk to about this. I have seven days to finish a play and write out parts, and the actors are not making it any better. Just three days ago I was loving life and enjoying time by my self, reading books going on walks and spending time with my family. But then it all changed.
The actors are always complaining and asking questions and I don’t know what to do about it. Lets call him bottom, he wants to be the center of attention, he wants all the parts and wont stop bugging me about it, then “musical instrument” was supposed to get a certain part and he denied it! He said he couldn’t do it because of him growing a beard. Then slug, he is really slow and takes a long time to remember and learn parts.
This is what I would like to happen, every one is peaceful and not complaining. They are fine with the parts that they get and are easy to work with. how could I make this happen? Please help.

Dear Little Big Man,
ReplyDeleteYour answer is so simple, it lingers on the tip of your tongue and just within sight. Simply make them proud of their roles. Make them really get into their positions. Mock them for wanting another role, do something to discourage them.
You will eventually be the one holding all the cards, like me in the poker game last night. I won 600 gold pence for a king high flush!
Good Luck, Nate Ricketts
Dear little big man,
ReplyDeletethis is a interesting one.I think that you should make Bottom be the main attraction. And "musical instrument" the part you gave him. Just tell them to deal with it, it is just a play get over it
