A.E. Darrowby, I enjoyed this story tremendously, I can imagine it would be an extremely entertaining film.

Format: there are unusual and unique aspects to your approach to format, it may present problems to readers.

Note: on page 58 the dialogue "You know he lives in that trailer out there" should likely be spoken by Andrew.

Note: page 111, likely opening words should be "Before our eyes".


This is a gorgeous bit of writing, I think, and for any readers who are willing to enter the world of "Level Best" it is well worth the time and effort.  

Since I've read this script in previous forms I know how extensive the edits have been and perhaps am forgiving of the quantity of characters and locations.

Dear gentle readers, when you have time and patience, let yourself be entertained by this script.

To me the characters and the story are delightful.  

I want to thank C M Hall for reading the original version and telling me how I had gone wide astray.  She put me on the right track for the story.  

Also, she gave the script its title.
