Idea for Stage Play, Part Three

Greetings, people.  This is the fifth day of the year and the fourth posting of 2011.  Today, I have decided to continue with your look into my idea for a stage play.  Over the past two days, I've shown you the outline of both acts of the two-act play.  Outlining is a key step in creating something, for it allows continued development of the idea.

In step with that, I have decided that today's posting will contain the further outlining of the play's contents.  First up is Act Two, Scene 4, where Oddley is visited by the musical group as he tried to find Gilda.  Now, yesterday, I did mention that my original intention was to feature Oddley's singing but by the time I posted the Act Two outline, I had changed it so Oddley was only a listener and would-be manager.

Now, I have gone back to my original idea but merged it with the outline idea.  Instead of the band jamming with Gilda, they still practice at Gilda's house.  Oddley joins in their act after he finds that they need a singer when nothing of their own vocals can pass muster.  Oddley is then offered to join the group full-time, which he accepts, which then gives him new reason to solve his problem with Newshaw.

Next up is the following scene, where Oddley meets the nympho-Gilda.  This scene will partly serve as a monolodge for Oddley as he figures out what is going on.   That way, the audience can join Oddley in his thinking out of the situation.  By the end of the scene, Oddley manages to start the ball rolling on the ending for the play, with the help of Gilda.

This next idea is for the potential movie based on the stage play and it's a new character.  The purpose of this character is to establish the workplace that is Easy-Mart.  The character is Linda, who is one of the checkers.  In the stage play, I've decided to make Gilda a checker while Oddley's job is stock boy. 

Linda. as a character. is interesting as it plays with the same idea I've mentioned before, a character transforming something else.  When stress gets to her, Linda mentally regresses to the age of six and it takes her several hours to return to normal, during which time Oddley becomes her babysitter, allowing her to keep her job.  Linda may appear in the stage play but that depends on further development.

That's all I have today.  Tomorrow, I may continue to outline the stage play or move on to something else.  That's the new blog around here.  Let me tell you, it's a challenge to put something up on the blog every day but I'll get used to it, in time. 

Yours truly, John Maxwell.
