What's The F Word to you?
Hey there, intrepid readers and playgoers -
What words are popping into your head at this very moment? We here at The Inkwell are spending a lot of time thinking about the F WORD... dirty isn't it? But not the way you think. We've been thinking about FAT. Yes, it's a dirty, dirty word, and we've put a full exploration of it onstage at H Street Playhouse.
The Inkubator production of Melissa Blackall's The F Word opened last night. It's an ambitious, provocative, and moving play about how we all struggle to find the perfect shape... from waist size to soul. The play has traveled so far over the past 18 months that we have been working with Melissa. As Melissa said last night, there's maybe 10 percent of her original draft in the piece. It's an entire transformation of the play... and it's unlikely to be the same again as Melissa continues to work on it.
We had a nice crowd who waited patiently while we set up for the show... thanks again for your patience. Opening nights are always surprising. And now we're up and running until Sunday, October 18th. Come join in on the f...un!
And now... for all those who saw or are going to see the show... tell us want you think! Melissa is very eager to get reactions from the audience.
So perhaps we can get you to ponder the following questions... and send us a response!
When you think about The F Word...
What do you think is the emotional journey of the play?
What scenes were the most surprising, moving, provocative for you? What scenes or moments are lingering in your mind now after seeing the show?
What perspective of The F Word would you like to see more fully explored?
This is an important part of the playmaking process... audience feedback... so please help us continue the conversation about The F Word.
