In this post, youâll learn about: 1  Using visual cues to remember complex terms. 2  Practicing terms using apps for iOS and Android. 3  Deciphering terms by learning basic Latin components (root, suffix, prefix) 4  Bulk learning using self-made acronyms. 5  Using engaging guides and workbooks. 6  Taking free online classes.
The issue is the long-standing industry âruleâ that a spec script should never be more than 120 pages in length (which should probably be amended to 110 pages, since that is the length preferred by most execs these days).
Regards your questions, I'd say word count isn't as important as page count. Plays range in length wildly but the scriptwriting adage of one page = one minute is still pretty true for playwriting. So if you want a play an hour long, go for 50-70 pages. Most plays run about an hour/hour thirty with an intermission. am neither sure what length of time is acceptable for a play nor how many words these actors can produce in an hour or so, so I did a word-count on a randomly selected play (Wilde's Lady Wintermere's Fan) and ended up with about 19,000.
