"Out ... this is the only word uttered in the scene

You've got my interest.

Is the character on stage when the scene opens, or does he come in to say "out"?

More likely someone else is coming in when he says "Out."

But there is no exclamation mark following the word "Out".

Intriguing.

If someone here contributes the name of a lipstick, might someone else contribute a character, a scene, a fragment of dialogue, or many fragments interwoven by the creator?

Could people here be moving in an out of your play without knowing they are in a play?

Could the play be performed in real time as the play is crafted?

Like I said, you've got my interest.

>>you've got my interest<<

I'm not sure I understand you about moving in and out in real time &c but you've got my interest, if you'd like to say a little more. As to this piece I've been asking your help on here and there, it's gone, for now. It's against good sense and superstition to say more about it, except thanks to everyone--and to ask your understanding for the while.

So, perhaps you're suggesting a new piece. Perhaps, even, you've just walked into one unknowing.

tx all

Yeah, that's it. Now you've got it. A new piece.

For instance, take that one word "Out." without an exclamation mark, which comprises an entire scene.

What a challenge for the imagination!

It could be any single word, of course. Or something more than a single word.

Where would it go if "the audience" created the settings and the bare bones of each scene whilst the playwright pulls it all together in private.

"The audience" is a co-creator, technically, but the production would be a total surprise to the audience once the play is finally performed.

Another fleeting thought: You don't need to see a play to imagine a play as anyone who has studied plays in academia knows.

This play would give full play to the imagination of the audience before the audience ever sees the play.

That's "the thing" about this play.


Since the play is audience-driven, the audience is sure to love it.

P.S. I have some more ideas which I will PM to you if you are interested, no obligation, of course.

BTW I am not walking into a play "unknowing".

I am walking into a play "unrealized", whilst fully realizing what I am walking into.
