Durang; The Monologue Scene

This afternoon, please read and comment on the 1-minute play drafts we have written.

--Are these characters interesting? Why or why not?

--Is there a central conflict in the scene? If so, what is it?

--What line(s) surprise us as listeners?

After reading Mrs. Sorken, Woman Stand Up, Funeral Parlor and DMV Tyrant, please return to the lab to complete the following writing exercise:

Use your monologue to write a short scene where you place your character in a situation/setting where at least 1 other character can respond to or interact with your monologue character. Use dialogue and write no more than 2 pages (i.e., a one-minute play). You may place your monologue in the beginning, middle, or end of your scene.

HOMEWORK: Read the following plays from your Christopher Durang book: pg. 9-131.
