28 Plays Later: Day 13 “Marvel and the Seven Queens”

Sanskrit Theatre piece. That was the brief.

Quite the challenge!

Ended up with a mashed up throughly enjoyable Sanskrit come modern day morality tale about the importance of living who you truly are.

Present day: Marvel is a genius banker who is on set to get a Nobel prize for revolutionising the banking industry. She’s at her first big job interview. During that interview, Marvel tells a story from childhood about how she runs away from home because although her family are great she’s not quite being who she is. She ran away and found seven drag queens who turn out to be people in her future that all have had their lives improved because she ran away and found out who she truly was. Conclusion: she nails the job interview. Living her truth.

Took a lot to write but really satisfying to finish.
