Greek Playwriting Project
For this project we were put into groups of 3, and we were to attempt to write a Greek Tragedy style play. Then at the end we would choose one play to actually put on with the entire class. Within each group we each had a role, either playwright, who did most writing of the play, the Big Idea Director, who did most of the idea creating, did most of the summary and plot thinking, and the Storyboarder, who had to draw out each scene and chorus with detail and describe what sounds and effects are happening. I was the Storboarder, so I helped the playwright finish the script so that I would know all about the play, then I continued to do the sketching, then editing the images and scripts if needed, then colored the images.
SUMMARY:
Our play takes place in the year 2112 in a post apocalyptic desert society with limited access to basic medical supplies. The small civilization that they have created is called The Resistance. The main characters are Leo, the father who is stubborn and will do anything for his two boys even put himself in danger for them. The oldest son is Lucius, a young man who can usually see the outcomes of things before they are over he is very wise. The youngest son is Jonathan, A child who has fallen ill to the now common but fatal disease called the Blacklight Virus. As the story begins, Leo and Lucius are listening to a radio news report stating that the cure to the Blacklight Virus has been privatized and only people with certain clearance can acquire the medication. The resistance members, Raph, Mikey, and Donney devise a plan to steal the medication and sell it for a profit unbenounced to Leo. Mason, one of Leo’s close friends with a sick daughter overhears these plans and runs to Leo and tells him everything. They create a plan of their own to enter the base. Mason has a friends who works there who can get them in but can’t get them out. Leo claims he can get them out with his skills working as an engineer before the apocalypse. Mason gets them into the med room as his back is turned Leo shoots him. Leo gets away with the medication. Leo cures his son of the disease. Leo goes out to sell the drugs and gets stopped by Raph, Donney, and Mikey. They take him and kill him for taking the drugs and listening to their plans.
