Hi girl When life is a stranger is a good piece the characters a fiery, and i like the dialogue but i feel the story thread will need some more development, and would like the sample you allow the public to read to be longer so they get a juicier taste of really meaty characters. Yet the title hooked me straight away and great cover, you picked a challenging concept to write about, and so far i am interested in reading more rivets and turns. Its the kind of book with the kind of title where you really expect it to be emotional, and for the characters to have you on the edge of your seat. Great concept.

The start of your play is very intriguing, Koyel. I am looking forward to reading more.

Writing scripts is so difficult! Unlike the more in-depth possibilities with a story or novel, script writing must focus mainly on character and dialogue as seen through the lens of a camera.
When Life is a Stranger has all the underlying elements in place; tension is there throughout. The relationship is somewhat defined by social mores and customs, often not found in Western thought and practice, but my question would be resolution at the ending scene. It left me hanging, not knowing what became of the sometimes passionate, oft-times confusing relationship between the two characters.
I would like to see the play lengthened, if anything, with an ending that gives closure more clearly? Also, you might want to download a free app for structuring a script (which I think would help): Celtx. I know you'd find it quite useful.
Congratulations for writing your first short script!
