Liquid Dreams What's On Your MindLiquid Dreams
Synopsis:
Liquid Dreams is the self pitying journey of one young girl Greta, and her struggle to find a remedy for a peculiar illness that seems oh so to familiar' When Greta wakes to hear her parents arguing yet again, she makes it her mission to help resolve her family's problems. It becomes apparent that her Mother has been acting very strangely and Greta comes to the conclusion that her Mother needs some sort of help, a cure. On a journey that takes her into the city, where she becomes way out of her depth, the task of finding a cure begins to take its strain and the road on which Greta is walking becomes uneven and dangerous. With a physical Chorus that creates the life onstage, Liquid Dreams has the ability to mould itself into all sorts of situations.
Notes:
the play is kept minimal. the set (if Any) consist of A few chairs And maybe A table. the Acting is clear, crisp And precise. the play should have no specific relevance to Any time period or place. the chorus should speak individually, unless stated otherwise. they should move with fluidity And precision, And emotion should only be conveyed if specifically mentioned. Where there is large chorus scenes, the Acting should be sharp And the lines should overlap.
