PPP Pitch

I thought before I reflect on my returned PPP that I should post my original work. Here was my pitch:

Imagine travelling to the beautiful Hagia Sophia to view a fascinating play about the clash of cultures that created the stunning museum of today. This endearing play features a young girl of sixteen who is living in the Hagia Sophia. She faces the impending invasion of the Ottoman Turks. She must display her bravery and determination as she awaits the soldiers arrival. When the soldiers arrive to take away her home, she tries to protect what is dear to her. Her fiery attitude toward the soldiers captivates viewers, leaving them excited to learn more about the Hagia Sophia. The spectators of this fabulous play would sit in the former sultan's lodge to view the performance that would take place in the dome of the Hagia Sophia. The lights would be off when they enter, so that the beginning of the play unveils the splendor of the architecture. The play commences with the young girl walking around the dome floor alone, singing the song "Into the West" by Annie Lennox (1xxxNoNamexxx1). She would also sing this song at the end of the play, for it resonates with the audience, creating a bittersweet atmosphere of war. The set will be of the magnificent main hall, for it is where she meets the soldiers. She enters in her day dress (Figure 1) and changes to a more elegant dress (Figure 2) when the soldiers arrive. All attendees will find this play fascinating and entertaining, sparking their interest in the Hagia Sophia.
