The Death of Albatross, my Script Frenzy opus, has been selected for script development by the Merrigong Theatre Development Program. I get time with a director/dramaturg and four actors. I consider the fact that they're willing to spend money on my play to be a Good Thing, and certainly more than many playwrights get.

As I'm going to be travelling a fair bit for the next few months, I requested in the application that the process begin in November. Now I'm sorry, because it's going to be hard to wait.

This is very, very exciting — not just because I get to learn heaps during the process, but because it's nice to get affirmation that one doesn't suck.
