Brief 3 – Due by 4 Feb at 10:00am UK time
It’s Groundhog Day!!!Yes, it certainly is. And if yesterday we were stuck in the past, today we’re stuck in the present!
So, whether you want to write a play that loops the sa… hold on… this is eerie…
OK, seeing as we’re stuck on the same day, we may as well get a play out of it, because if you’re groundhogging the day, it means you still haven’t written the play, and besides, you’re not actually repeating the exact same day – because for at least one person it’s very different.
So, for our play today, set up your play from yesterday in exactly the same way – first few lines don’t change, but then your characters choose to behave completely differently throughout. But beware, the play must go into a totally new direction, not just be a different perspective of the same story.
For bonus points don’t simply change the plot but also the style – turn a frown upside down, turn a song into a pause, a farce into melodrama, or whatever…
