Description
Experience Level: Intermediate
Num. of words: 31764
Topic: satire - contemporary American pop culture, politics, religion
Tone: Witty/Sharp
Extensive research needed: no
Extra notes: At a recent staged reading of my stage play, I found that my script was seriously over written. I had hoped that 150-ish pages would translate into no more than 2.5 hours (which would still have been too long.) It was, however, closer to four hours.
The good news is that my readers and audience loved the script, or else they were extremely gracious.
I need someone - a theater professional, dramaturg, playwright - to edit my script for length. Any insights to content, structure, form, character development are welcome but are secondary. I want to pay to get my script down to industry standard of 90 to 120 minutes.
I don't want someone to just get delete happy and hack and whack my script to shreds, rather I want someone who can appreciate the work and cut out the least necessary bits without losing the message/theme/voice of the work.
The editor/writer must have a working knowledge of contemporary American life - politics, religion, pop culture, particularly in Red State American.
