31 Plays in 31 Days, #27 - "Not Anymore"

This is another scene from late in the Mrs. Hawking story, at the very end of installment six. I feel weird about writing this one for the same reason I did about Day #8 - Old Friends, because I feel like I'm both spoiling an emotional high point as well as not being able to do it full justice because I neither know enough about the story nor devoted enough time to exploring it. But gotta write something, so here it is.

This is after they've dealt with the threat of Jack the Ripper, and Mary finally makes up her mind to part ways with Mrs. Hawking. This builds on what was established in Day #6 - Lead and I'll Follow.

Finished draft of Base Instruments!

I am pleased to announce that Base Instruments, part three of the Mrs. Hawking series, has a complete draft!



I had some friends over to read it, as I love to do when evaluating a play, and the response was great. Now I have a direction for the edit! Thanks to Jane Becker, Charlotte Brewer, Matthew Kamm, Tegan Kehoe, and Samantha LeVangie for their great feedback! The stuff I need to fix isn’t huge, fortunately, but it will require some deft tweaking in order to improve, and that level of subtlety will be challenging. And hearing the whole piece together means I learned some interesting things about this new installment of the story.
