forking in Los Angeles
Right, so, let me announce this show before it happens this time...
Forking is going to Los Angeles... look for it at the Theatre Asylum from February 20th - March 14th. Live in LA? Buy tickets here.
I had the chance to revise the script after the San Francisco run... After watching all thirteen San Francisco performances (I had to, right? had to see the different vote combinations in action), I had a pretty good idea where the play could be tighter, and which moments could use a little more clarity. So, those of you seeing the show in LA are going to see a better script.
One of the ways in which writing plays is more immediately-gratifying than writing fiction is that you get to participate in the experience by sitting in the audience--you get to see/hear/feel the emotions and reactions of the people around you. It's hugely interesting and also extremely helpful for sharpening your craft. With a voting play, the audience experience is even more transparent--you can hear people applauding and shouting out their hopes and desires for the characters, and you can hear how that changes from night to night.
Thanks to everyone who came to see the show in San Francisco... we sold out every weekend show, as well as a couple of Thursdays and a Tuesday.
