Playwrighting Week Six

We listened to the rest of the group's synopses.They ranged from a triangulated relationship to a film noir version of Bligh and Christian in a parallel universe loosely based on the romantic tale of The Mutiny on the Bounty. Everyone took turns unlocking the keys to the writer's imaginations. Then we played another word based writing game. You write down 6 things, 3 emotions and 3 colours then order your list alphabetically to write a piece on a theme in our case mortality.
I wrote "You ask if you can have an apricot - just because you sit in front of me in that chair looking out the window at the creek and I still wonder if you even remember the egg cup I brought with your breakfast. No - you were too busy watering your fern - picking up a hairpin to begin your day with happiness. To not be hurried by my indecision or indigo mood. For us it was a lighter moment tinged with red solicitude. That is how I remember you."
The idea is that you write something that you would otherwise have never written.

This week we read the ten minute first drafts of our plays to the group one at a time.
