We always appreciate the wonderful emails that we get here at ESL Podcast – and speaking of wonderful, I want to thank our wonderful scriptwriter, Dr. Lucy Tse.
A script writer will do that or maybe a screen writer, but I think screenwriters usually adapt novels into scripts for movies or TV shows, not for plays.
And so I got really frustrated with that, because the way playwrights make a living on playwriting is not just on the first play, but on that play being produced again and again.
The domestic box office is still trailing roughly 5% behind 2024, which, mind you, was the year that we were recovering from the SAG-AFTRA and WGA strikes, so we're even further behind 2023.
