1 Kings 2:1 "Now the
days of David drew nigh that he should die; and he charged Solomon his son,
saying,"
Actors look forward to
playing a nice, juicy death scene. Gasping breaths interspersed with wise words
are a challenge to perform just right.
That’s what to keep in
mind when writing a play, movie, or television show. Stories people will read
rather than watch need to be done a little differently.
Drama that works when
people are watching it unfold can look ridiculous on the written page. Writers
need to find the right balance.
