In addition to writing novels - and actually quite more and more frequently, and more frequently completed - I write plays. Short plays, long plays, operas, ballets, musicals, masques, pageants, short little performance pieces, stuff with room for improv, stuff in iambic pentameter, all sorts of plays.
I like theatre.
A lot.
The published plays are from Playscripts.com - four published out of over forty written. The best thing about writing a play, though, is that the deadline isn't anything approaching theoretical. An audition date is coming. The actors must read SOMETHING. And not long after that, they begin rehearsing. The script had better be in a working condition by then. Also, even the longest play is short by the standard of a novel, which makes them that much easier to write. Hence, more plays!

Hence...more playing!
And is there anything much lovelier than that?
