After a long and painstaking process, we finally landed on an idea that we are all excited for. The general premise is to follow a university graduate (John Smith) through his transition into teacher training. I feel this has great potential as it could be relatable to our entire target audience (16-25 year olds) due to the range of characters we can represent within the piece. In the creation of this idea our most important focus is making the piece accessible to the lower range of our target audience without giving them the wrong impression of what’s to come. Setting our piece in a school allows us to use characters of their age in order to make the piece relatable to them.

What comes next is the writing of the script, and luckily Railcard Theatre contains several people who recently wrote a script for another module in our course: Emily Cooksey, Chris Petit, Chris O’Donoghue, Lauren Towell and myself. Naturally, these are the people that have formed the writing team with the addition of Chloe Harrison as script editor due to her authority as Director and input from my fellow Co-Producer, Charlie Watts. The first draft of the script should hopefully be finished in a short amount of time, I have allocated people to write scenes in preparation for a writer’s meeting on Wednesday 9^th March (2016) in order to ensure that the scenes piece together seamlessly. The writing allocations are as follows:

Scene One – Chris O’Donoghue
Scene Two – Lauren Towell
Scene Three – Chris O’Donoghue
Scene Four – Zach Begg
Scene Five – Lauren Towell
Scene Six – Chris Petit
Scene Seven – Emily Cooksey
Scene Eight – Zach Begg and Emily Cooksey
Scene Nine – Chris Petit

We hope to have a final copy of the script by the 23rd of March.
