$30-250 AUD

Paid on delivery
We are a small non-for-profit theatre company. We would like to produce a play based on a real-life event, the shipwreck of the 'Batavia'. Based on the event's Wikipedia page, we have structured the events into seven segments or scenes (attached). We need someone to structure a short play based on these seven scenes. The play does not have to be long, only a few minutes per scene. It is entirely up to you how many characters are featured (2-4 is all we need), and the structure of the play is up to you as long as it tells this story. The play will be produced as part of an independent community theatre production in Perth, Western Australia, in 2018.

I'll write your play, give it in the required format. Write the dialogue, give the character something. Yes. Relevant Skills and Experience I've written a bunch of short scripts, below is a link to my writing style, And they're both stories about the sea kind of. I like tales about the sea, I like Conrad and Melville. In another life I was probably a sailor, probably died at sea of starvation or stabbing. I like history too, so, and I don't have much else to do at the moment. [login to view URL] Here is a rough sample of the dialogue and character, just a general sense.

Greetings, I write words that work for you. Words that deliver your message the way you want. I approach your project with the same passion and creativity as if it were my own. I’m results-oriented and deadline-driven. I go the extra mile—and more—to make sure you’re happy. I take pride in always being focused on your needs as a client. If I write beautiful copy, but it is off topic, what good is it to you? The writing style I employ is clean, direct, and easily comprehended. I avoid complex wording and language as those traits do not play well in most applications. I always do thorough research on any topic I am not familiar with, and work to write from an educated and authoritative standpoint. Best Regards, Mike
