31 Plays in 31 Days, #22 - “Small Pond”

More from Dream Machine, specifically the debacle I’m planning at the Emmys. I’m still working out the idea, but I want the team to be put in a position where the circumstances force them to make a decision between being self-serving for career purposes and protecting the collaborative and artistic integrity of the show they’re working on— such that they make a hard choice to do good work and do right by each other, but at the expense of their position in the industry. I haven’t fully worked out what that means yet, but I want the Emmys to be the point where they start paying for that.

I’m brining back a character who features in the flashbacks of episode 5, Marian Granville, the original creator of West Chesterham before she left for greener pastures. Bernie had an idea for season 2 that basically involved building a nega-team of our leads for them to be in creative competition with, and Marian could be that team’s writer.
