The Brief

So it’s time for an autobiography! Time to tell our stories. Perhaps you believe you have a funny one… or perhaps yours is tragic… or perhaps it’s boring… or perhaps… as my pre-brief suggested … it’s simply pointless!
Either way – put it in a play (I think that can be the next 28 Plays Later slogan)

Our lives… as eventful or boring as the may be… have been going on for a long time. I think this challenge calls for a saga.
I expect many, many scenes… I expect many, many characters – some leads… some walk-ons.

WRITER turns to leave, then pauses on the edge of the spotlight’s circle of illumination and steps back into the light.

WRITER

Bribing me with dark chocolate and frou-frou coffee have also been known to work.
