I have heard from many sources that you can derail an entire production by adding a handbag. The number of questions that arise from this simple change involve departments, budgets, style, size, items inside the handbag, WHERE the items need to be inside the handbag, etc. It's a mess. This of course made me think... "what an awesome game!"
So this is the game.
Person #1 posts a note from a fake rehearsal report about a new item that their director has decided to add. It can be a prop, costume, scenery change, script change, falling chandelier... your call.
For example, "Maria is holding a book in I, 3."
Person #2 replies with a list of 5 or more questions that arise from this addition, and then suggests a new thing that the director wants to add. For example:
What color should Maria's book be? What size? Any particular title or author? Will the audience see the inside? Hardcover or softcover? Used or new? Should it have a pricetag on it? Does it need a bookmark? Ribbon? Tie closure? Does it get thrown? Dropped? Destroyed? Burned?
New note: Amy is eating a bagel at the start of II, 1.
Try not to repeat any items. Try to be as thorough as possible with your questions. No winners here, this is just for amusement and skill-building.
If multiple people happen to post answers right on top of each other, the next person can pick their favorite of the new items and keep right on going.
We'll start off with Amy and her bagel.
