So an interesting thing happened while I sat at my laptop ready to start Play Numero Two: I kept sitting in front of my laptop waiting for a play to come… and never did. Actually, I think it’s because my mind is flying in a lot of different directions that I’m not able to focus on a single idea. So, I’m going to try another approach: make a list of play ideas I want to write about all at the top of my dome.
I know, I know, Conrad, why don’t you look for prompts cuz duh, that’d be hella quicker. But I’ve been known to be super stubborn. Let’s give a shot though, shall we?
- A Western
- The Greeter… about a person who’s job is it to greet hundreds of people everyday, but sinks more and more into a hole of depression from lonliness.
Rent-a-wife: a story about a person who posts an ad about being a part-time-wife/escort/made. based on a real posting i found on craigslist. I actually wrote a play based on this idea that went on to be produced!- Finding Love in All the Hopeless Places
- Title: A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Sun
- A play that takes place at the moment that a pair falls in love
- A scientist who smells armpits for a living
- A play about the non-PoC chef takes the recipe of a PoC and is successful in selling it when the PoC has taken a lifetime to try and achieve
- What happens when a person dives too deep into the rabbit hole of a social media comment thread.
- Title: One Bad Knight
Adding more to this with the hopes of striking through more of them as warranted!
