"I played Antigone and every night my heart broke for her dead brother. Then my own brother died and I felt nothing. I missed the funeral because I had a matinee. I'm not avoiding talking to the Group because I've got something to hide, Mark, it's the opposite. If I'm not in character I don't know if I'm there. I'm already dead."
Denise Gough as Emma in PEOPLE, PLACES AND THINGS (2024)

The people are not going to revolt. They will not look up from their screens long enough to notice what’s really happening.

Trei motive să mai mergi la teatru în luna mai, cu Vanner Collective
În pofida starturilor false, primăvara pare a se fi împământenit. Asta mai ales dacă te iei după lumina care se filtrează printre copaci. Pare greu de crezut, iar oamenii de la meteo sunt fiecare un soi de Cassandra care a tot strigat „lup” până a rămas fără voce. Dar e suficient să tragem adânc aer în plămâni și, printre moleculele de îndoială își va face loc și aerul proaspăt. În întâmpinarea…

I was tagged by @talldecafcappuccino to describe my WIPs badly! I used a very loose definition of "WIP" that ranges from "thousands of words" to "I wrote the idea down in my notes app." Good luck figuring out which is which! These are all for Ted Lasso, Roy or Rebecca-heavy.
I'm not sure who has been tagged but tagging in @thesumdancekid @boglady @mrgaretcarter @jubileen and anyone else who wants to do it!
Rules: Pick a bunch of your WIPs and summarize them as badly as possible, then ask your followers to vote on which one they’d be most likely to read. Multiple/all/none options are completely optional.

"We also took advantage of the West End, and checked out five plays, among them PEOPLE, PLACES, AND THINGS, scripted by Duncan Macmillan, the playwright who is adapting the tourney at Harrenhal for the stage.  I think we’re in good hands.  Duncan’s play was dark, powerful, and intense.   We grabbed a lunch at our hotel a few days before seeing the play, and talked about THE IRON THRONE."

as a reminder, because this is a very well known story, this question is about the stage play specifically.

Ship: Emma/happiness (People, Places & Things)
AU setting: I don’t think it makes sense to put her anywhere but the real world, so
I could’ve asked this anonymously, but you would’ve known who it was from. 😂
Emma stands on the little podium in the centre of the stage. She has to be Emma right now, because Rachel's a work in progress and Sarah's too attached to the treatment centre - she'd liked Nina but apparently nobody else had. So she's Emma, and she's looking out into the audience for the last time before she says her final line - the actress is looking out into the audience for the last time, and Emma looks too, and this is the part that always gets tricky because it's almost over, these are the last words she gets to say before she stops existing (sort of, it's complicated) and she wants a cigarette and the next cigarette she'll get will be the one she lights up in reception when it all starts again and she wonders if the actress smokes and she wonders if that makes a difference and she's frustrated that she doesn't get to know because she'd like to know whether or not she's pissing off the person whose body she's fucking inhabiting, you know? And oh fuck that was a question mark wasn't it that's not the end of the sentence that's not the end of it that's not how a stream of consciousness works fuck off she's going to keep talking because, actually, whether you like it or not she exists in the minds of the audience now, beyond the stage, actually, and everybody's got a different version of her inside their head and like obviously she doesn't know what happens to them all but in terms of probability, right, one of them gets to be happy, right, like -
(I'm not Duncan Macmillan but hopefully @supervisormeero likes this)
