challenge

this is a challenge/assignment for my next post, with complicated instructions:

a five-page play on three characters in one scene, on the event of a stranger and a couple never to see each other again.

then, the same scene in a five-page exposition, sans dialogue, of character and scene description.

the kicker, of course, is the conflict in defining a person in dialogue and defining them in description.

the theme of part one: character of a person is completely transient with the quality of one's verbal interaction

the theme of part two: even interaction does not mutate the soul of a person, even when the actions contradict what a person says.

bla. write. and then, revise revise revise with the paradox until both parts fit the same scene, and both parts work.
