Unprepared Plays
Source text
Section titled “Source text”Give the plot of a short, simple, play and assign to each player his part, with an outline of what he has to do and say, and then let them act it, making up the required conversation as they go along.
This develops the power of imagination and expression on points kept in the mind, and is a valuable means of education.
It is well before starting to act a play in this way to be a little less ambitious, and to make two or three players merely carry out a conversation on given topics leading up to a given point, using their own words and imaginations in doing so.
