Production Tips for 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.

Put levels in the set. Cubes, benches, boxes . . . it adds a lot of visual interest without making it difficult to pull together.
