What are some of your favourite incidental music? I’m looking for recommendations. Preferably late 19th and early 20th century.

Hi there! It’s me again.

As I’ve mentioned in my previous post here, I’m thinking of writing a full length play set in Heian Japan. I will most likely be using Fade In software. I have a question about stage directions. How detailed should they be?

Can I describe staging details such as what the set should look like?

How should I describe the setting?

How should I introduce a character and their appearance?

Do I have to end each scene with „CURTAIN” or „BLACKOUT”

I’m still fresh to playwriting. I’d appreciate some tips and tricks.

Hey there! I was thinking of attempting to write a play. I’m 18 years old I do have some experience with writing short shorties and I even wrote a screenplay using Fade In software in may this year. As for theatre, I’m a big fan of opera.

Anyway for some time I had an hour idea for a full-length play set in the Heian Period of Japanese history where the main character would be Abe no Seimei. I wanted to ask if it would be a good setting. I’ve noticed that most plays after the 19th century are mostly in realistic settings (Example: “A Doll’s House” by Henrik Ibsen).

What do you guys think? Would it be possible to stage such a play?
