31 Plays in 31 Days 2025, #1 - “The Suit”

Here we go again! 31 Plays in 31 Days 2025, the fourteenth year of my taking on the challenge of writing a page of drama every day for the month of August.

This year crept up on me a little bit less than it often does, so I took some time to think about what I was going to write over the course of the last few weeks. I usually do best when I have a specific project to draft, which for me often works best if I have a plan, an outline, that I’ve already thought over. I’ve been more focused on production than writing new stuff lately, so I unfortunately don’t have much worked out yet, but I definitely do have projects that I’d like to use this time for. So, perhaps if I can be very diligent, I can do both some planning and some drafting over the course of the month, and make some real progress.

One thing that will need a lot of doing is Mrs. Hawking part 9. I really know very little about it at this point, except that it is to be the grand finale of the mainline Mrs. Hawking series, so it has to be BIG. Big in scope, big in cast, big in emotions, big in action, big in everything. So I’ve really got to make it count.

So, to kick things off, here’s a bit of tiny noodling of something small about it, as I work on figuring out all that stuff that’s big.
