Me And Robert McKee

Synopsis:
According to Billy, a writer, character is destiny. He's facing the certain end of his marriage and the likely end of his career. Reliant on teaching scriptwriting for a living and the bottle for oblivion, his sense of self-worth is teetering on the edge. When Mac, his best friend and producer, offers him a screenplay to write, the offer is not all it seems. Will the gesture start our hero's journey from darkness to redemption - and make them a million - or trigger the final act of Billy's tragic career? Along with gifting us an entertaining play, McGee, through Billie, lets us in on some hard-earned secrets of writing that he's learnt during a long career. As Greg says, writing isn't difficult. Everyone does it. Writing something worth a damn is extraordinarily difficult. And making a decent living from writing something worth a damn is harder again. Billie's take on writing and writers will be of interest to every aspiring writer and creative artist.

We are delighted to receive information from users where our own research has been unable to locate details on the holder of a play's rights.doollee.com contains a comprehensive listing for each new play written in English produced by professional theatre companies, venues, festivals, commercial producers and once-off-producers from 1956 to the present. It includes adaptations, translations and new versions.
