SCENE 1 – INTRODUCTION

[all lights down so set cannot be seen, spotlight trained on AUTHOR who is standing in the centre of the stage] 

AUTHOR

Welcome to a completely pointless play. It’s so pointless that you’ll wonder, in the end, why I wrote it. 

[KATE enters] 

KATE

No, it’s not pointless. It’s got a point because it’s giving characters a chance to show their point of view for once. That’s worth something, isn’t it? 

[ELLIE enters] 

ELLIE

Of course, when our darling author started writing, she had no idea it was going to be like this. But she soon found out … 

AUTHOR

As I was saying, it’s a completely pointless play, that may possibly have a point. But I’d just like to introduce a few people. 

This is Kate. She is sixteen, a regular tomboy. Remember her – she’s one of our main characters. 

And then you have Ellie. She’s also pretty main, but she’s not quite so boyish. In fact, she’s had a few boyfriends over the years. But she says she’s grown out of that. 

Grown out of what, I wonder. 

ELLIE

And this is our Author. We don’t know her name – that’s one of the irritating things. But we bumped into her a while back, when everything that happened in our lives was just so cheesy and clichéd it was obvious it wasn’t real. 

KATE

And that’s how all this started …

Script Frenzy 2010 -
Delorfinde and Raina

If you are wondering why I'm the only one posting it's because it's hard to tell who wrote what as we all changed each other's scenes etc.

So this is the script. Raina wrote some of it too.

And we finished! :)

Sorry for dodgy formatting. Protagonize hates scripts.

If you don't like it, blame Raina. If you do like it, thank me. Ah, the joys of collaboration.

Delorfinde: Raina...? Will you collaborate on Script Frenzy with me?
Raina: Why? I've never written a script before!
Delorfinde: Well, neither have I.
Raina: Ah, I see. So it's going to be one of those, is it?

NB: The scene numbers are screwed up. So far I've noticed we have two Scene 24's and we have no Scene 17. Just ... don't ask.
