I used to do a lot of community theatre, and I think that experience has given me certain strengths (such as a knack for dialogue). Interesting thoughts about the brevity of detail being similar between fiction and playwriting. I shall apply that train of thought today as I go back to a scene that's set (unintentionally) in a white room, and add a few bits of detail. Great post, Elaine!
