Where have I been?

Whew!
It has been a long time, but it has been necessary.
I have completely revised the treatment/outline and I am now planning a workshop with actors for the end of November/early-December.
What has changed?
I think more has changed than stayed the same, but essentially it is simpler and clearer than it was before. I was especially conscious of removing the tricks from the script, which only served to get in the way. For example, in Part 2 Claire had a twin sister, who disappears. Claire, seeing that her sister is somehow able to be the passionate, committed person she wants to be, decides to take on her life and pretend to be her. Yes, I know.
In the revised version she still takes on her sister's life, but they are not twins and it is not a case of stolen identity.
