I started this lj a long time ago, with a determination to write things down as they occurred to me, without editing. So why has my little script below hidden in google docs so long? Guess it was cos I didn't think it was good enough to show. It still might not be. But a chum is considering shooting his own wee script, and has shown it to friends, and it made me think of all the things I have left lurking. We are very different writers he and I, but a dab of his courage would do me good.

So here it is. This is one of my many versions of Shakespeare's Tempest. Would I turn it into a film? There are so many flaws with it, from its internal references to more mechanical/practical issues, I feel very few would stay with it, never mind enjoy it. To anyone coming across this, don't feel you have to read it. It's here because I want it to be.

Copyright is also an issue: For this script 'Tempest' copyright, intellectual property and all rights reserved to Debbie Gallagher 2010...excepting those that a certain Master Shakespeare might wangle. I hear he's a shark in court.
