Write a mini-play featuring at least three characters. Here are the rules.
- Your play must feature Nicholas Groggon and James Parker and one musical artist. (Note: Combine Groggin and Parker into one character, in whatever way you want)
- Your play should also feature Matt Melis or one of the writers we read for Tuesday’s class (Jason King, Sasha Frere-Jones, Tracey Thorn).
- You must create some conflict between characters and find at least partial resolution by the end.
- If you want to add another character, it’s up to you. Just don’t make it too complicated.
- Each of the other characters must ask Groggon-Parker one challenging question.
- Groggin-Parker should ask a challenging question of one of the other characters.
- The characters’ interactions should reflect the ideas and points of views of their writing. If you can include some of their actual words, all the better.
- The rest—setting, tone, dialogue—is up to you.
- You have thirty minutes to wirte your play. Then you will perform it for the class.
