Pockets

Description

Before the show, ask the audience to write simple sentences on slips of paper. Anything goes.

The game is played by 2 players. Ask for a location, or a profession, and have every player draw 3 of these slips. Players put these in their pockets without reading them.

Then a scene is played, in which at any point in time, players replace what they might have said, by whatever is on the piece of paper they draw out of their pocket. Try to incorporate/justify whatever is your line into the scene.

Notes

Try to avoid thinks like `My granny always said` - you want your character to say whatever is on the piece of paper - don`t try to put those words into someone else`s mouth. See also a game called Bucket that uses audience lines as well.
