Project: Writing the script

As the director of the drama, it was my job to write the script. I began working on this as soon as our treatment had been accepted by Debbie, as we were told that in next weeks session we will be having an acting workshop in which drama students will play out scenes from our film.
As I had never written a script before, I found this very challenging as it was very hard for me to imagine a realistic way in which things would be said. Regardless, I did my best to create the script under pressure. I am aware that the script is flawed, however I am hopeful that the actors in next week's session will be able to give insightful feedback that will enable me to improve it. 

Attached is a copy of the script. I chose to show it to the rest of the group in advance of the acting workshop as I felt it would be good to get their opinions on it before the actors got to see it. Although they did manage to highlight some areas they were unsure about, I was still none the wiser as to how to repair them, so we decided to leave it as it was and ask the actors for help with doing so.
