Brief: Use environmental sustainability as the inspiration for a play.
Notes: It’s possible that I just wanted to set something in an ice hotel.
Excerpt:
YUERIG: Good, good. We are here tonight to talk about sacrifice.
WOMAN 1: Like the animals who sacrificed themselves to give us the blankets on the seats?
WOMAN 2: I don’t see you sticking your bum down on bare ice.
MAN 1: Can we just listen to the man?
YUERIG: The harvesting of wool doesn’t harm sheep, and removing the matted, heavy fleece keeps them cool in summer.
MAN 2: So, what’s your point?
YUERIG: Sacrifice. It’s what we are called to do during Lent, right? Give something up to prove our love of God, and our worthiness for redemption… but what do we sacrifice?
