Screenplay Writer for Humorous Mystery Drama Needed

Title :- Looking for Screenplay Writer – Short Drama (Humorous + Mystery, 7–15 min)

Hi,
I’m looking for a talented screenplay writer to create a short 7–10 minute script (extendable up to 15 minutes) for a stage/theatre performance.
Concept Overview:
The story is inspired by Ea-Nasir (ancient copper merchant) and the famous historical complaint against him.
This will be a courtroom drama with a twist, but not in a typical serious tone—the screenplay should blend:
Humor (witty, situational, character-driven)
Mystery (gradual reveal, audience confusion, twist ending)
Courtroom tension
Style & Inspiration:
Inspired by 12 Angry Men (dialogue-driven, character conflicts, layered perspectives)
Strong focus on interactions between multiple characters
Minimal sets (school-stage friendly)
Character Requirement:
9–10 characters total
Each character should have a distinct personality and purpose
Mix of:
Serious (Judge, core roles)
Comic (side witnesses, reactions)
Conflicting viewpoints (to build tension)
Key Requirements:
Sharp, engaging, and performable dialogues
A manipulative and convincing Ea-Nasir
An innocent character being framed or doubted
Humor that feels natural (not forced or slapstick-heavy)
A well-planted twist that redefines earlier scenes
Balanced pacing within a short runtime
Deliverables:
Complete screenplay (dialogues + basic stage directions)
Clear structure (acts/scenes)
Character breakdown
Ideal Candidate:
Experience in dialogue-heavy or ensemble writing
Ability to balance comedy + tension + mystery
Understanding of stage-friendly storytelling
If interested, please share:
Writing samples (especially dialogue-driven work)
