Brief: The task was to revamp yesterday’s unstageable play into something that could work on a stage… but I went off-brief.
Excerpt:
SARAH: Portal? You… you came from the cauldron?
GLYLLY: Black metal container? Yeah. You know you’re supposed to make a protective circle and put the vessel in it, right?
SARAH: Um….
GLYLLY: It’s how you make sure whatever you Call doesn’t get out and hurt you.
SARAH: Are you? Going to hurt me?
GLYLLY: Well, you hurt me first!
SARAH: I didn’t mean to. I was scared. (beat) Are you really a demon?
GLYLLY: I am. My name’s Fnarglyl, but my friends call me Glylly. (beat) Are you really a pink skin – I mean – a human?

Sweet! Who knew demons could be little kids. Epic line: “Do your parents know you’re summoning demons?”
