Everyone is so damn witty. Innuendo everywhere.

Really the dialogue  from deadpan to frothy is developing very quickly and so is the plot, which is nice for a change as conflict has never been my strongest suit, I’d rather just make people laugh. Being given a  framework to work with according to the original folktale helps there, but I’ve already decided there will be some plot flourishes that differ from the original tale. Not so straightforward. I’m very much inspired by Much Ado About Nothing , Taming of The Shrew and by extension Cole Porter’s Kiss Me Kate for this, and I guess in a way it’s going to be a send up of such Shakespeare “dramedies” or my modern take on it, and if I can make fun of Romeo & Juliet in the process I will.  I haven’t had this much fun writing in a while though, and that’s what is appealing to me the most about it. It’s fun.
