Notes from a playwright—Phillip Dawkins

What we’re looking at here:
My Notes on David’s Notes on My Notes.
Pictures of the Bible: In the script, Christian reads a letter from the Civil War. As it turns out, I have a Civil War Era Armed Forces Issue Bible (Why? I don’t know. Ask my grandpa, the hoarder.). At least, I’m pretty sure it’s Civil War Era. Anyway, I looked to the Bible for inspiration, and stole some of the handwritten marginalia for Christian’s treasured Civil War letter.
Also, pictures of some script edits on my first draft based on sitting in on rehearsals. I was running low on recycled paper, so I printed the entire first draft on the backsides of rejection letters.
