    April Flowers Quarantine Special: Theater for Writers Workshops

    Thanks to a virtual worldwide quarantine this spring, theaters have closed their doors in response. 

    Some theaters have decided to do a show just for the audiences at home via the internet. One such theater group is the National Theater in London, England, UK. They have set up four shows for the month of April. 

    As a lover, patron, and former thespian, Undawnted's proprietor, DL Mullan, will be participating in the online events. Sunday, Undawnted will be publishing the April schedule (a week earlier to accommodate the play schedule) for the quarantine special engagements that have been created just for you, her audience. Get your comfy chair piled with pillows and be ready to be dazzled by the world's best theatrical performers. 

    Then Undawnted will have coffee and chat sessions set up via her Discord server space for all those who wish to discuss the play and how it pertains to the craft of writing: character development, plot, setting, and dialogue. 

    A Special Engagement section will be set up for these writer's workshops. 

    Stay tuned... more details forthcoming!

    Have a great and wonderful day.

    Reimagining Robin Hood for the 21st Century

    That is a tall order!

    I have always wanted to write a Robin Hood inspired story. There are a few revisions I would like to make to the old, tried and true mythologies of our modern age. Robin Hood is just one of them. 

    I want to do some reimaging to the likes of Dorian Gray, The Raven, Pride and Prejudice, and Taming The Shrew to keep me busy for the next decade. 

    This year the muse descended on Robin Hood. I have to take modern themes and ideas to formulate a new and exciting version no one has ever seen before.

    So what is out there?

    I do love the Kevin Costner version from the early 1990's. Funny how I took a noncredit script writing course through a community college at the same time that the film was released. The Hollywood screenwriter helped my classmates and I breakdown the scenes, characters, and story lines. I learned so much about storytelling during those six weeks than in any creative writing class I have ever taken.

    So do not pass on noncredit courses! You might be happily surprised the knowledge you receive. 

    When I was sketching out some dialogue for my take on the classic tale, the main character pretty much told me his story. Scene after scene, I could tell that this type of Robin Hood was going to be a mesh-mash of elements from the original story and a few others from external sources. 

    I cannot wait to get it all finished. 

    I hope I can keep up the momentum and get this origin story edited for an autumn release. 

    As long as the characters keep writing the story themselves, I do not see why not. Stranger things have happened.   

    Have a great and wonderful day.
