Short play comp shortlisting

Well, I asked the universe last night for some guidance as to what my direction should be now... and I got a swift and positive response three hours later: my play, Exchange Rates, which I adapted from my story of the same name, (and is included in The White Road and Other Stories), has been shortlisted for the Total Beast 6-Minute Theatre competition and will be performed, along with the other ten shortlisted entries, some time in 2009. The winner will then be chosen, and will receive 200 pounds and a professional critique of his or her play.

I was Highly Commended in last year's comp for my stage adaptation of the title story of my book, The White Road, so this is wonderful news, and also, it seems, a push in the direction of the theatre. I love theatre, did a lot of acting. So... must think about this some more. Perhaps "flash plays" adapated from flash fiction? There are One-Minute play competitions too!

    Wow! This is great! But as you know, the theatre is a bottomless pit of excitement and despair. Enter, or rather, re-enter at your own risk :))

    V, it is most definitely synchronicity! And I really mean I asked the universe, in a very concrete way. It was spooky.

    Nik, it IS good, isn't it?

    Sue, I know, I know!

    Sarah, thanks so much, it's exciting.

    Susan, it's Florence, all the way!

    Thanks for your comment on my piece (http://www.jewcy.com/post/save_writerbuy_book)on Jewcy! Being a sometime science writer myself, and sometime playwright, I sense a kindred spirit. Best of luck--I will look up your stories.
