Today we had the opportunity to brainstorm some ideas for our plays. At first, I didn’t think I would be able to come up with possible topics so quickly but after a brief free-write directed by Kimberly, it came easily. It was particularly interesting to hear other people’s ideas because I heard things that I would have never thought of had I not been placed in this class. While I feel it is important to touch base with the protestant/catholic troubles, I want to explore other ideas, such as if they hadn’t decided on peace fifteen years ago. I’m also considering playing around with format for my play and using a nonconventional way to display my story. Its hard to say what my play will be about without better immersing myself in the culture, but I can say that it definitely seems less impossible after today.
