Brief 2 – Due by 3 Feb at 10:00am UK time
It’s Groundhog Day!!!
Yes, it’s 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 same day, or you want to write a play that loops the same day, or you want to write a play that loops the same day, or you want to be all zen and write about living in the moment, or about lots of presents, or about groundhogs. Or about days. Or just write a monologue about how underrated Andie MacDowell is, and whether she was better in Hudson Hawk, Short Cuts or in her incredible monologue in Sex Lies and Videotapes… spoiler!), or you want to write a play that loops the same day.
But what is the present anyway?
Is it this second? Has it already ended?
Is it this year? Is it far or is it near?
Is it this millennium? uhm… does it fit inside your cranium?Woah… getting far too metaphysical for our second day, I’ll leave my philosophical rantings to where they belong – in week 4!
OK, let’s get us some bonus points… add a surprising character halfway through the play. Somebody you didn’t expect when you set off writing – the bigger the surprise, the more bonus points you can get.
And here’s to not having 6 more weeks of winter! (is that what they indicate?)
