Comment from Willosa
Very entertaining. The voice in the well is by far the best character, (I could hear the late great Robin Williams doing a voice for it!).
I had the feeling the other two would end up together, guess finding bags full of gold made old toadface a tad more appealing.
Liked the amusing double entendre of plumbing the depths!

DEar Willosa Thank you for your review and the five stars. This is my first attempt a script writing and so far the response has been favourable. So I am encouraged to write more . Cheers Cass
Comment from BeasPeas
Hi Cass. I did enjoy your story very much. It was humorous and even funny giving me out-loud giggles. The format seems to need a bit of work, though. What on earth is going on with this page? Suggest you go back in to "edit" to see if you picked the wrong template for writing your script. Choose a smaller image size for one thing. That may bring all the other elements into proper format. Then there are punctuation edits that need to be tended to. SO ~ nothing wrong with the story, but formatting is totally off kilter somehow. Hugs, Marilyn

Comment from Phyllis Stewart
What fun! I loved it. Maude got to know her stalker and found he was what she wanted all along. Even the witch ended up happy with a new expanded well. I wonder why this typing stays on one verrrry long line. You should check for Evil Eddie's work. Anyway, well done. A reat treat. :)

Dear Blossom Child, Thank you for your review and the awesome SIX stars. It is a start in a new direction for me. I have always hankered after script writing and this piece has been sitting in my folder for--decades. I wrote it for a couple of friends for a reading that never happened, but left it in the folder until it began to fall out and get in the way. It was "telling" me to post it I am sure Thanks again cheers Cass
Comment from Sanku
I liked it.Rudrake with his bag full of coins is the lasting image and the idea of a new well and a new voice is also new.
I think with a bit of re writing you can include an important social message -of water becoming dearer
well done

Dear Sanku, Thank you for your review and the five stars.
There will be no rewriting of this piece to contain "an important social message" . It was written in a sense of fun (and bravado) just to see if I could do it. I'll save the messages for other pieces,but thanks anyway. cheers Cass
Comment from Venessa Lee-Estevez
I thought this script was very humorous at times. The voice of the well has some great lines! I love how the relationship changes between Maude and "Toad Face."

Dear Venessa, Thank you for your review. This was written just to see if I could do it. Now I know I can, I intend to do more. With different characters and different genres. This one was humorous, but there are dramatic moments that would lend themselves well to
script writing. I intend to explore this as fully as i am able, cheers Cass
Comment from Debbie Pope
Cass, what a unique play. I've never read a script with a well as one of the main characters. Actually, the well is my favorite character. I also enjoyed Maude's sense of humor. My favorite line of hers is "sweet Aphrodite. I think I'm going to swoon."
Plumbing the depths of a new well is a good ending, but you did a nice job with the entire script. It's very entertaining.

Thank you dear Debbie. this has been my first attempt at script writing. I am glad you found it entertaining. This was written with two friends in mind and never saw the light of day beyond a reading between the three of us. I have always yearned to write plays, but never seemed to get the incentive to start, sticking mainly to poetry and/or stories ever since i learned that words could rhyme.
Time for a change,perhaps cheers Cass

You must have seen a lot of plays in your day. It's got a drama feel to it. I think it's the humor in the dialogue that does it.
Good luck. Go for it for sure.
