So now weve made more progress in terms of what the plot of next year's play is going to be like, which is the story of a queen, who is robbed of her rightful throne, and has to find a way back up again. But the most difficult part of the play to write, which is how the play unfolds and ends, is still a struggle.

Im afraid to rush things too much and end up with a mediocre plot where we rely on the set design and the acting  only for the play to work, because even though the plot isn't the most essential part in theatre, it still counts, and our audience is also going to see a story, no only actors performing.

But the hardest part hasn't even begun yet. Writing the script is what often worries me the most, because there's a lot to take into account, not only the fact that we cant make language too complicated because its in English, but also that we have to think about what every single character in the scene is going to say, so its not as easy as just thinking about how a scene would unfld for say 2 or 3 characters, its much bigger than that.
Also, we must have a certain idea beforehand of who is going to act as which character, because then we can make the script accordingly, not as to put too much pressure on actors which dont have great pronounciation, or that cant learn their lines very easily, and vice versa, to give more space to actors which can.

Most of the remaining pressure comes from the fact that while writing, we are already defining most of the character's personality, because of what they try to achieve and how they achieve it, so if that comes out as uninteresting, or flat (the characters) then the actors wont have much to work with.

A lot of pressure and expectations, but i hope this is only the initial impression, and that when we actually start, it will seem to flow more easily, but weve still yet to see that.

To what extent can actors influence the character they are playing? Or to what extent should they lead astray form the text character?
