What better way to celebrate Fathers’ Day than to launch a new blog authored by father & son…

One son (son number two) is about to start drama school in London.  He’s got into Drama Centre London. I am so proud of his achievement in being selected.

He came up with an idea for a drama about Al Capone and Richard III.  Actually I think I got the Al Capone and he added the Richard III - but I might be wrong.

The blog is called ‘Al Capone & Richard III Coming to Life‘. 

What is special about this is that he and I are going to write a play together - in public, on the blog - and we are going to include all the process, from the start.  Eventually, the dialogue will be written in public too.

So far, there are two posts, with a few comments from us. This is the first time the link address is being made public (@2320 today).

We are inviting everyone to be interested…

and to contribute to the creative process by commenting, offering suggestions, critique and absolutely anything you want to say.  You’ll see that the blog has barely begun…

We have no idea how long this will take, from inception to the Royal Court, the Everyman or the Abbey…

Does anyone know of a similar father & son project, written by blogging? 

If so, please visit us and let us know.
 

From time to time, I’ll publicise the project on ‘From Bath to Cork with Baby Grace’, but as ‘writedramatogether‘ (our authorial name) we will have to live under our own steam.

Please come over there and leave us a few opening comments

even if you think we’re crazy to attempt this, especially if you think we are dotty.
