Of course, weird drama can be written--when the author starts out - TopicsExpress



          

Of course, weird drama can be written--when the author starts out from the first to utilise the dramatic form. Dunsanys Gods of the Mountain and Night at an Inn are typical specimens. But when a thing is written as a story, it will fare best by staying that way. What the public consider weirdness in drama is rather pitiful or absurd--according to ones perspective. As a thorough soporific I recommend the average popularly horrible play or cinema or radio dialogue. They are all the same--flat, hackneyed, synthetic, essentially atmosphereless jumbles of conventional shrieks and mutterings and superficial, mechanical situations. H. P. Lovecraft to Farnsworth Wright, 16 February 1933 (from SL4.154), on possible radio dramatization rights for The Dreams in the Witch House.
