Characters Behaving Badly
by Lindsay Price
If you saw a wallet on the ground, bulging with money, and no one around, would you take it?
What’s the worst thing a person can do? Is it murder? Is it lying? Is it getting an A-? What defines “good” and “bad” behaviour? Can “good” people have “bad” thoughts?
This vignette play, perfect for class performances, asks students to look at the concept of what it means to be “good” and “bad” and what it means to play a character with whom they might not agree.
