hi all - i am Mike and i'm from Brisbane, Australia. i am a uni student currently in search of a script that can be adapted into a 25-30 minute production for that stage for one of my classes and was wondering if anyone out there knows of such a script (i have been trying to come up with one for a while, but i have writers block), or can point me in the direction of somewhere i might be able to find it. cheers!

Yo Ichi!
This is two months late, but hey I just got here!
MajicMan here in NC - USA. I serve as writer, director, and producer for our production company.
My philosophy is - once you've determined the parameters for your project, in this case it's a 20 - 30 minute play, just fill in the blanks and make your own play.
or
Let the actors improvise a who-dunnit with werewolves - or vampires if you prefer. Keep track of the time and trim the scene to fit inside the limitations.
or
Adapt a short story. Do something by Poe, King, or Barker. Do whatever you want!
or
Look up a script online and adapt a section of it.
or
Adapt a part of a story and make it your own. For example - look up the script to Scream by Kevin Williamson. Change the title to Screech. Study the syntax and rhythm of the dialogue, then rewrite the section to your liking. Just scriptjack it and make it your own story. You'll find that just by having a starting point and working from there, your own story will erupt through the pages organically.
Anyway there's no such thing as good luck, just good writing. So go to it.
