Does the play have to be 100 pages or longer?
Mod
From the rules "Only plays or books of poetry may be combined to reach the 100 page minimum."
You could read 2 shorter plays to reach the 100 pages.
Would a novelization of a play be acceptable? I'm looking at Black Coffee or Spider's Web, adapted from Agatha Christie's stage plays, which I can borrow from my nephew. If not, I think I've got Witness for the Prosecution and Selected Plays around here somewhere.
Mod
It should be in the form of a play not a novel.
Mod
work for this task?
Thanks!"
It is a play.
Is Hamilton: The Revolution ok here? It's technically a libretto and isn't presented exactly like a traditional play.
Mod
Yes
Mod
Maybe, do you have something specific in mind?
Yeah, The Gardener's Son: a screenplay by Cormac McCarthy, paired with another play to get over 100 pages.
Mod
That screenplay would work in combination.
...huh. It actually is over 100 pages on its own. Just didn't realize it at first because the foreword and cast of characters do the thing with the Roman numerals and regular page numbers only kick in when the actual screenplay starts.
Mod
That edition is 93 pages.
If screenplays are potentially fair game, how about Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them: The Original Screenplay?
Mod
OK
