In rehearsal last night, Thursday night
we explored scenes that put the drama between 2 people
at the heart of the larger issues we've been investigating
a grandfather planning to sell the family hous when his granddaughter leaves for school, and her urging him to hold onto their home
one woman welcoming another into an apartment building, but judging her lifestyle and placing the sense of community they both crave in peril
a man coming to see the new home he's renting, and having an awkward conversation with the young single mother soon to move out because she can't afford the rent anymore
my question to you, anyone reading this, is-
what ideas can you share for specific situations that put the political and ethical dilemnas
of commuity, growth, housing and responsibility
into moments between 2 people involving story, conflict and instances of relationships with something at stake...?
