Hey, guys!
So there is this thing going on here called "A Night of 1000 Plays" and a friend of mine is helping promote it. Anyway, I've been challenged to write and directed a 3-minute play. Sounds easy enough, right? Eh...I need help thinking of ideas for a short-short play. Anything come to mind? Here are a couple of my ideas, but I'm not sure if they are good/humorous/entertaining enough... Also, it doesn't have to be funny, but could be serious as well.
1. First Date: Basically a humorous recollection of my first date with a Korean guy (if you can remember). Basically, he goes on about his school and job trying to impress the girl, and she has no idea about any of it. (Re-read my post about Korean dating if you need a refresher...)
2. How to Be a Star: Could be a monologue with some background acting of a foreigner's advice on how to be a mega-Korean star. (Again, based on a blog post about my dream to be a Korean Star.)
3. A Journalist's Plight: Something short and funny about journalists...if there is anything short and funny about journalists...
So yea...I NEED HELP!
Hmmm... I think that sort of a combination of your ideas for the first two could be entertaining. By combination I mean:
ReplyDeleteHow about a (mostly) monologue by a foreigner on how not to date in Korea. Have the girl do all/most of the talking, but have a guy act out the various examples of the types of guys you've dated ("and by the way did I mention that I was top of my class" that sort of thing)
I like the first idea. I think it would be funny if you exaggerated the date to the point of being ridiculous, like him showing you his olympic medals and pictures of himself making first contact with aliens, inventing the wheel, etc.
ReplyDeleteThat is, if you're trying to show how utterly ridiculous that kind of dating appears to us Americans. XD
I vote 1.
