Drama

Have I written this for live presentation? You must remember that your play is meant to be for the stage and not for film.
Have I kept the setting of the play simple? Try to keep the setting of your play to one or two places. This limits scene changes and avoids the script becoming one written for a film.
Have I developed believable characters? Make sure your characters realistic in the way they speak and act and that they suit the style of your play.
Have I got too many characters? Limit the number of characters in the play to just enough to develop the dramatic action. If you have too many it makes your plot too complicated and then your play ends up too long.
Does something happen in the play? It is important that you have thought about what you want to say in the play and that it there is a complication that ends up being resolved.
Have my stage directions made the action clear? It is important that your stage directions help the reader understand what you want to be happening on stage so that there is more than just dialogue
Is the play the right length? Remember the script should be 15 – 25 pages long. If you are under length you often haven’t had time to develop the plot or the characters. If you have gone on too long you often haven’t kept the dramatic action of the play moving.
