Within this 'Steve McQueen' play I have got some ideas as to who this person is and where they are.
One of my main ideas is that the main character is a man who is a boaster and I believe that he
is making this story up and I believe he is making it up because of who he
is. He is a down and out character who
is just barely getting by in his work. , which I would say is an estate agency. I then thought of writing down shots of him
at his workplace with other younger workers talking about him, or a younger
manager shouting at him. I then believe
that he could then deliver his story within a crummy bar where he is possibly
trying to seduce a woman by telling this story about his meeting with Steve
McQueen. And since he works in an estate
agency, his story is very believable since he is naturally a good talker. But I can envision him not succeeding in
talking with this woman which therefore makes his character more tragic. This character that I have in my head is quite like Jack Lemmon's character Shelley Levene in the movie "Glengarry Glen Ross" which was written by David Mamet.
