That's strange because I'm Ok with it but couldn't open the every1sacritic thing.

Quote: Griff @ February 29, 2008, 10:11 PMIt's a small stage. Think fringe theatre. It's OK to set Scene 1 in a lounge and Scene 2 in a bedroom and have a quick bit of music playing while they change the props during the transition. But you can't really do lots of cutting back and forth between scenes, and the stage isn't big enough to represent multiple rooms at once, Abigail's Party style.
Also while the lighting people were very good, you might be chancing your luck if your script specifically needs a fade rather than a blackout!
If they ask for sitcoms, surely they are aware that the script has been written for TV and not stage. There's bound to be 'Fade in' etc the one I have sent has those directions, but it'd be simple enough to just blackout as you say, instead.
I know they don't want outside location scenes or elephants and planes, and I hope they can use mine which hasn't any of them 
If I get a sketch show thing together, then I think all I'll need is a table, two chairs and some easily obtainable props.
I'm more than willing to pay for props. I guess that preperation is key with this sort of thing.
Cheers for the link - emails a go-go over here!
Yea props are no probs...charity shops come in handy
Anyone else entering this? Be nice to know who I'm going up against.
I am entering, is your Kungfu a match for mine?

I'll crack your skull like Maine lobster, friend.
I'm going to have a go as opportunities like this don't come up too often! Depends on my (very recent) idea being tranlated into a fifteen-minute script in the next six weeks amongst all the other writing!

Well that's a worrying statement.
A frozen maine lobster encased in cement.
Your comedy kugfu is no match for mine.
I move with the speed of Ben Elton's delivery, the stealth of Ronnie Corbett shaggy dog story, and the explosive power of Chris Morris being controversial.
You'll be as tired, and washed up as Russ Abbot by the time I'm finished with you.
Quote: Griff @ March 5, 2008, 10:44 AMI'm probably going to enter, because it's always good to get your stuff performed. But I am wary. I swore after last year I wouldn't do it again unless they changed the rent-a-mob audience voting system. I'm not reassured that they have.
It's always worth trying to get yourself heard.
As far as writing I'm rather like a pregnant Guinea Pig. I have so many squealing, little pink scripts, I can always devour one of the runts if hungry. By that I mean send an old script in. Not eat live Guinea Pig babies. Unless I'm really hungry.
Mmmmmm.... Roast Guinea pig....
Thanks for the tip.

I'll run your down in a locomotive sprinkled liberally with vinegar dressing.
