‘The Plain’ – Challenge 3.18

So, we had to redo an old play today. A bit of a rip off from yesterday’s brief where we had to write a play, delete it and then write it again. This time it was, imagine one of your older older plays was deleted, now rewrite it. A few people were against this brief, preferring to write 28 new plays, but I thought I’d do a bit of both.

Last time I did this challenge I wrote a piece called: 17 – The Plain set in an African Safari Lodge. The brief for this was, “no emotions” I think – you can read of my experiences of it here > https://taletotale.wordpress.com/2017/02/18/the-plain-challenge-17/

I didn’t enjoy it too much, and I didn’t create anything useful from it. So this time I rewrote it, axed the kids, and went wherever the characters took me. I’ll be honest, I have no idea how these things end, all I decided is whether one of three things happens.

  1. Death
  2. A Twisty Twist
  3. NothingTime-Tide-King-Lewanika-by-Norman-Carr-Safaris-6

I’m a big fan of number 3, but I haven’t done that too much this time round.

Anyway, enough stalling! Here’s #18, one I quite like:

18. The Plain (don’t get confused, I called it the same because the I love the title)
