I think you did a really good job with this first script you have penned. I don't write script so I am not much help on finding things to add or take away. I look forward to the next part. Blessings, Teri

Good opening script! You wrote in a lot of tension here because of the situation that Peggy and her father are in. The dialogue is convincing and there is much not said that is even more evident. Best wishes in the contest!!

I never wrote a script, it's something I want to try one day. I'm envisioning this in story form... nine kids, nine personalities, nine upbringings, nine variations to everything. What I'm trying to ask, will there be tensions, inter-twining of stories, hatred, animosity between siblings the father has to deal with.
It can't all be a bouquet of roses coming from all nine?

Just my thoughts.
Looking forward to the next post.

John

    That?s a great question. There are a couple of surprises. Thank you for the fine review.

This is a good script, unless all the scenes are children telling their dad how much they love him. No family has 9 wonderful children, and nine wonderful children will not make an interesting play. There needs to be tension, apologies, some secrets, and some talk of his career. That's life.

    You are correct. The eldest was like a mom to the rest of us so she sets the stage, however, there will be a few surprises. Thank you for the fine review.
