12/6 Six Impossible Things Before Breakfast
Each group is to create a scene.
In the scene, everyone is part of a family, or
visiting the family. (For example, Jane’s friend comes to pick her up before they
go to school). The scene takes place before breakfast.
In the scene, six impossible things have to happen. The catch is, no one is
allowed to treat the impossible as a joke. It is part of their world. No winks to the
audience, no breaking character - in the world of the scene, the impossible is part
of the everyday world.
Post script here.
