I think you should do like a crime or something. Like a murder and there is an investigation and such. That'd be cool. You could prbly fit that into 3 min.

Thanks for all the help,there were all good! Report It

  • Haha, im doing the exact same thing, and i know it sounds silly, but we are doing our favourite fairytale

    If its a girl, make it about shoplifting.
    Like, have your friend 'steal' and that be the problem.
    Then, have her apologize and pay for the item.

    If its a guy, then idkkk.

    there was a short play at my school called check please.and these people go on blind dates and the other person ends up being really funny and weird and the date always ends with the normal one sneaking away.... so i dont know if that helped but good luck!!

    Well i think you should look at improve books. Those might helpl you. You could write about anything! It could be about an orange, lol. Umm i would write about two people, (you and your partner) who are deciding who should be able to take the hottest guy in school to prom. He likes both of you, but told you he doesn't care who he goes with. Both of you want to go with him obviously, and you both talk about why you both think you should go. you could even lose you friendship over this if you wantyed to. Now remember this is offf the top of my head lol. I hope i helped somewhat. GOOD LUCK! Tell your partener to help you!

    Use a 'real-life' situation....like you have a play to write and it's due soon...and you're partner is NO help.
    OR
    Imagine a 'cat-fight' between popstars like Spears and Aguilara.

    if its a girl, then do something like one girl is new at school and this other girl is trying to make friends. or sommin like that. it would be good.

    This is quite a broad question. There are no guidelines, no rules, you just need a play for two people about absolutely anything?
    Here are some tips for getting more answers:
    -What genre do you want? Do you want people to laugh, cry, ect.
    -Who's your audience? Kids, adults, what grade you're- assuming you're in school.

    So without knowing the above, how about you're both shopping in a store and you see something you both want. (So there's your conflict.) And then one says "I really need this (whatever it is) it's for my daughter, she's really sick and ((at this point person one can start talking about their life.
    And then the other person can apologise, let her have it. But then she says she also really needs the item because of whatever reason, and then tells her story, and then at the end you realise there's really two of them, so the problem is solved.
