Looking for a Black Queer Playwright/Reader for feedback for my Experimental Play
Hey everyone,
I’m looking for a reader to give feedback on a new draft of a full-length play I’m working on.
I’m specifically hoping to connect with a Black queer playwright or reader who gets surrealism, non-linear storytelling, and experimental structures.
The play is a psychological, stream-of-consciousness piece that puts the audience directly inside the mind of the protagonist. Because of that, the world doesn’t follow conventional theatrical logic—time loops, reality bleeds, action shifts between past/present/alternate realities, and some characters exist as fully fleshed-out figures while others function as fragmented echoes or psychological constructs.
At its core, the script wrestles with the intersection of race, gender, queerness, and trauma. It isn't a traditional linear drama, and it needs a reader who is willing to meet the text on its own terms rather than trying to flatten it into a standard structure.
I’m mainly looking for notes on execution—things like pacing, sharpening character definition (making the fragments feel distinct from the fully realized characters), and making sure the stream-of-consciousness feel translates clearly on the page. I’d also love any suggestions or brainstorming on additional surrealist imagery, visual motifs, or staging mechanics that could elevate the world even further.
I really want to work with someone who inherently understands the intersectional dynamics at play so we don't have to spend time debating the validity of the premise, but can instead focus on making the draft as sharp and potent as possible.
If you’re interested in reading and giving notes, drop a comment or send me a DM! Thanks!
