Being Charlie Kaufman has just uploaded an MP3 of his sound play “Hope Leaves the Theater”. Part of a project called “Theater of the New Ear”, the play complements/comments on a theater piece by the Coens and stars Hope Davis, Meryl Streep and Peter Dinklage. The download will only be available for a week.
Some of you might want to take a look at Kaufman’s screenplays: the script for Human Nature works better than the film, while Adaptation and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind are great examples of engaging and uncluttered screenwriting.
Here’s a test: start reading with the intention of keeping count of the pages and see how quickly you get pulled into the flow of the story. “What, I just read through 30 pages!?”
