Think how you can involve your chosen celebrity into your story/script:
Dougies girlfriend is Katie Jones' sister - that's how they are related.
Katie is wanting to get the recognition of disabled children known and having Dougie, a celebrity brother will help Katie out a lot.

What are the complications of having a real/known person in your play?
I think that the complications of having a known person in my plays is just the fact, no one will read much into the story more the fact that there is a celebrity in the play, so they won't really know what the story or what the message we are trying to put across is.

The main obstacle or goal in the play? What are they trying to acheive?

Pitch
Raising awareness to people about how kids with disabilities can have the choice where they go to school: mainstream or specialised.
