Description

4 players in a square; 2 in front, 2 behind them. The MC or host asks for an audience suggestion for the 2 players in front. Then the host asks the players to turn the square (to the right or to the left). So now we have a different combination of players in front. These 2 get an audience suggestion. Turn again and ask for suggestion again and do this once more. Then have players take their original position.

The game is played as follows: the 2 players in front start improvising a scene; the 2 players in the back move to the side to clear the stage. Players play until the host yells "Call", at which time all players step back to their original positions in the square. MC then calls Right or Left, and square turns accordingly. The 2 players in front start playing a scene based on their suggestion until MC calls again.

This is repeated. When 2 players are up front for the second or third time, they continue their previously played scene. They can either plainly continue it, or continue at some time in the future (a day later, a year later, a century later). Also known as Revolver. Also known as Pan Left Pan Right. Also known as Turntable.

 

He who deliberates fully before taking a step will spend his entire life on one leg. --- Chinese proverb
