1 month to writ a shortish play

[Etty]

hello,

I must complete the following asignment in exactly 1 month:

Write a script illustrating the nature of sin as set in The Parson's Tale applied to the characters of The General Prologue.

You may draw inspiration from any of the following:

Dante's Devine Comedy

Bunyan's Pilgrims Progress

Brecht's Rise and Fall of The City of Mahagonny and the Seven Deadly Sins.


Time restrictions: 15 to 30 minutes



I have only Dante at my disposal and less than 3 weeks to read it.

I have no idea where to start without plagiarising anyone's work

I've never written a script,much less a play.

I'd be grateful for any pointers on:

setting
dialogue
character development

The only advice I can really offer is to read published short plays, which can be found at your local Barnes and Noble and Borders. Get a feel for the formatting and structure. Then hustle and read those source materials.
