Museum (short play)

    This is a clever little piece. Observing people in an art gallery or museum has been something I have enjoyed for many years - people have opinions which they voice, or they have none, or something in between. People ignore instructions and comply with them. People appreciate art or relics - others cannot. Performing this with 25 or so would be a brilliant realisation of what actually happens! Go to a gallery or museum and just watch from afar - this play will be made real - better still, see it performed in a theatre.

    A powerful piece that captures our blatant self absorption and lack of regard for the treasure of history before us. Well done.

The action is made of brief moments of people in groups of one or two. Between two and twenty-five can perform all the available roles. More can be added for non-speaking roles.
