I've taken a chance by putting this up here, mainly for the purpose of showing it to friends and others whom I trust. So now I must talk about the dreaded Copyright Law.
Stealing this work and claiming it as your own is considered plagerism, a serious offense punishable in the court of law. If anyone is found to have this material illegally in their possesion, actions will be taken to ensure that it doesn't happen again.
In laymans terms, KEEP YOUR FILTHY PAWS OFF MY SCRIPT!
I worked hard on this, now make me proud.
When the play was first started in February of 2007, it was, at full length, ten pages. Since then, with the help of many people whom I could never thank enough, it has become a full length two-act play. After much hard work, hand cramps, and devoted love, it has blossomed from the little baby thing it once was into something...well, pretty darn impressive, if you ask me.
How did I get my idea to write this play? Well, it all started with an inspiration. The play See What I Wanna See (LaChuisa, 2005) played a heavy role in most of my script's foundation. It was particularly the R shomon segment of this play that struck me after I fell in love with the musical's soundtrack. Of course, Idina Menzel is what essentially captured my interest, and it was her character, the Wife, Lily, that sparked the greatest ammount interest. The music of the LaChuisa's play captivated me, with its intense and suspenseful tunes and melodies; that is essentially where this crazy thing all got started.
From that little platform, I worked the story off into my own idea, and it wasn't easy by any means. Watching out for copyright law takes more effort than you think; let me tell you, I almost went insane trying to avoid using any major ideas from the original play. Whether or not I was successful? I don't know, you tell me.
