PROMPT : INSTA-PLAY

INSTA-PLAY by Minty

 The group performs a five act play whose rules are improvised and based on directions assigned to each member by whoever is Member #1.

Each member is given a number and may choose a mask. The mask can help form a character for the duration of the play. The numbers assigned are to aid the playwright in directing each scene.

ACT 1 - Members #2, 3, 4, 5 approach the stage and perform and improvised scene while Member #1 writes about what they see. Member #1 decides when ACT 1 is over. 

ACT 2 - Member # 2 must recite what Member #1 as a monologue to Members #1, 3 , 4 , 5.

ACT 3 - Members #3 and 4 return to the stage. It is announced that Member #3 is the protagonist of the play. Both members must rehash a part of ACT 1 without the previous members, refining each of their characters.

ACT 4 - Member # 3 stays on the stage and creates a soliloquy in the form of a song as he/she mentally prepares before their death.

ACT 5 - PART I -Members #1 and #4 re-read the monologue text together as an epitaph of the protagonist

ACT 5 - PART II - Members #1, 2, 4 and 5 all return to stage and perform the text as a chorus for Member #3 in the audience.
