“Twisted Tales and Timeless Themes: Discover the Surprising Depths of ‘Carousel'”
As the deadline for the Logline Showdown approaches this Thursday, I can’t help but ponder: in a world saturated with dramatic narratives, what truly makes a story resonate with an audience? The latest script under scrutiny is “Carousel,” penned by the talented Rachel Lambert, known for her work alongside Daisy Ridley.

Sounds like a classic setup, right? Yet, there’s more to this tale—or perhaps less? Join me as I dig into the depths of character, conflict, and the fine line between realism and boredom in storytelling. Will Lambert’s poignant exploration hit the mark, or will it drift aimlessly like a wayward logline? Let’s unravel this together!
