the reading was a success

the play was read in front of a small audience this evening and went down very well.
i received strong feedback and constructive comments on how i can develop the play further.
i was really pleased that the audience was mixed in terms of ethnicity - it was also a small enough group for people for everyone to be able to contribute if they wished to.
anyway - the next steps.
tonight i received some conflicting pieces of advice about where to go next:
- is dirk portrayed 'too nice' or is he just right?
- were the senior white managers too over the top or are they a funny but accurate representation of what really goes on?
- is the chorus fine as it is or should i change it somehow?
i'm going to take some time to go through the comments and evaluate them.

apparently getting the first draft down is the easy bit.
now i gotta roll up my sleeves and do draft 2...
