Big sister's play

I just spent the weekend in Vancouver. I have three sisters (Cheryl, Brenda and Valerie) and we all got together because my sister Brenda was in a play at Metro Playhouse. I flew in from Calgary, and my sister Cheryl flew in from Los Angeles. Val and Brenda both live in Vancouver. It was a Norm Foster production called Maggie is Getting Married. Of course, my big sis was brilliant as the mother. But you know, the writing of this play was terrific. I loved the witty lines and quick comebacks and fun play on words. Plus, I think the playwrite caught the essence of the family and made the characters realistic and true to life. I really felt as if I was watching a family on the eve of a daughter's wedding. To me this is a gift. Any of you write plays out there? I think it would be such a good exercise in dialogue and such a challenge. You can't use paragraphs of description to set the stage, you must use the voice of the characters. I know I do this when I'm writing my novels but it's different because I can throw narrative paragraphs in between the dialogue. One day maybe I'll write a play! Of course, it's how the actors deliver the lines that makes the words sound so good too but really it's a combination. And my sister, Brenda, delivered her lines perfectly. What a wonderful way to spend a weekend, eating in restaurants and going to the theatre! Oh yes, and I wrote ten words on the plane ride home. Yikes. I must get busy.
