I’m commissioning an original, full-length stage drama set in a clearly defined historical period. I need a seasoned playwright who can take this idea from a rough concept to a polished, stage-ready script. Scope and expectations • Genre: dramatic—no comedic or musical elements, though moments of levity are welcome if they serve the story. • Setting: an authentic historical backdrop (exact era open to discussion), rendered with accurate language, customs, and social context. • Length: roughly two hours of stage time, structured in two or three acts. • Deliverables: – one-page concept synopsis – scene-by-scene outline with character arcs – first draft in standard play script formatting (Final Draft, Celtx, or PDF) – one revision cycle incorporating my notes – final production script with clear stage directions, minimal yet evocative set notes, and a concise prop list Collaboration style I’ll provide thematic goals, historical reference materials, and feedback on each milestone. You’ll bring research skills, compelling dialogue, and a feel for stage pacing—ensuring every beat works for live performance. If you have produced or published historical dramas before, please share samples or excerpts. Let’s create a piece that feels true to its era while resonating with a modern audience and is ready for the rehearsal room.
