ADRIAN LEWIS MORGAN ACTOR FROM BBC DAY TIME SOAP DOCTORS WISHES CAST AND CREW PRODUCTIONS GOOD LUCK IN THEIR NEW PROJECT.

The role of script editor

The role of script editor is half best friend, half slave-driver, and half Pick 'n' Mix counter at Woolworths. (You don't have to be any good at maths.)

You are the writer's best friend, because you need to offer them advice and support at every stage of the script development process. You need to be brutally honest with them about what's not working and what's not funny in the script. You need to be sensitive to the unique, beautiful thing they're trying to achieve, and to help them get there.

You are a slave-driver on behalf of the producer, because you need to keep dragging new drafts and new scenes and funnier lines out of the writer. You need to keep pushing the writer with the hateful words, “Is that as good as it possibly can be?” And you need to cajole the writer into doing things that the producer thinks will improve the show.

You are a Pick 'n' Mix counter at Woolworths because you need to keep coming up with an endless stream of ideas and provocations and suggestions that the writer can rummage around in to find something that works. Most often, it's not what you suggest, but the suggestion sparks off a thought in the writer's brain about how to do things differently.

THE ACTOR

News

One of the largest ongoing tasks involved with being a working actor (and there are many large ongoing tasks) is the task of ridding yourself of the idea of "making it." I don't say this to be cynical, or discouraging, or to scare anybody - if you're talented, and up for the hassles, then life as an actor can be a great life.

But most acting jobs are over in a few months, which means every few months - at the very, very least - you have to look for another job. What that really means, if you want to work steadily, is that you're never not looking for work: you're always looking for new opportunities and new angles to ply your craft. You're always meeting people, trying to get auditions, bugging your agent (if you have one) or writing casting directors, seeking out interesting directors or playwrights that you think you'd like to work with -- always looking, constantly striving.
