I'm really glad they 'boosted you up', David, but they weren't kind words, they were simple expressions of reality. I really do wish you all the very best with your writing.

David,

Just honest feelings about how your play made me feel mate. And I'll tell you this, I'll read anything you write in future and if any of your plays are ever showing in Nottingham, I'd go out of my way to see them performed, and I don't go to the theatre.

Keep writing, your observations in what you write are spot on and I can't think of any serious playwrites of today who's work read as fresh as yours. The atmosphere you created with words in 'Just One Of Those Nights' was astounding to enjoy. Reading the dialogue I didn't need to look at the names of the characters because I knew who was speaking because you'd created such believable and realistic characters in the play. The dialogue spoke for itself and the intermittent exterior explosions in the scenario brought home a hard level or realism, a real impact moment, an immersive reading experience.

The only negative thing, if you can call it negative, was I though that the only thing that could let this play down was bad actors, the right performers have to be believable in order to speak real dialogue the way you write it. I was highly impressed, as you can probably tell. I'll get off my soap box now before people think I'm insane, everyone read this play, 'Just One Of Those Night's, because David Elliot Brown is a name you're going to see a lot more of. It takes a Scotsman to write something as good as this
