How to play
Best suited to older, dramatically inclined groups. Select someone to take on a character and deliver a monologue based on a situation that character has been in. Give participants time to prepare in advance (ideally weeks), or provide a pre-written speech. Works best with a group that loves drama and won't hold back.
