Word limit (1 Viewer)

Hey peeps!

I'm doing a play-script for my major work (it's a major something atm) and I was wondering about word limits because I think that I will go over. The syllabus says 20-30 minutes performing time, but I'm not sure how that translates into wordcount.

If anyone can help or just wanna chat about scripts or anything email me. I can't promise a response because of our crappy 20kbs internet argh..

well I produced a radio drama that was 15mins in length of dialouge. I think the script was around 3000 words or so, so I guess a 20-30mins one would be around 5000-6000 words. However you gotta be taking into account approx. how much time will be taken up by the actions you specify your actors to do.

However, I reckon given the guidelines they have that they won't be extremely strict about exactly how long it ends up being...
