 Exquisite Corpse, The         Genki?

Exquisite Corpse, The

Synopsis:
Most of us have played a game of consequences at some stage. You draw a head, fold the paper over then pass it on to someone who draws the torso who then folds it over and passes it to someone who draws the legs etc, revealing a rather unusual creation at the end. The surrealists called this game Le Corps Exquisite which is the inspiration for true/fiction Theatre Company's The Exquisite Corpse. However rather than a piece of paper, in this instance it is scenes written by various writers which are performed in a different order each night.
