Scenario

When co-writers have fundamentally different visions for their shared play

My writing partner and I have been developing this play for eight months and we've reached the point where every scene feels like a negotiation between our two different ideas of what the story should be. We both love the characters but we keep pulling them in opposite directions and neither of us wants to compromise our vision but we also can't seem to find a third way forward.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two creators discover that loving the same characters is not the same as serving the same story.
