Drinking games

Well - I had a very productive day yesterday writing my play and wrote an entire secene that is somewhat like a game (kudos to "Gods" here Morph), but more of a consumption game. Like a drinking game the rules are complex and the audience could be fooled into thinking it's simply made up as they go along - but structually it had opend some doors for me.

Now I've decided at the end of the play they could play the lambrini game and iv'e seen this game be turned onto its head and used as a wonderful tool for bullying and picking on hte weakest memeber of the group. I have a line that I'm trying to slip in "If you nominate me one more time I will throw this monitor at you" which is actually harder than it sounds...

Anyway - the idea is they are all playing a vallium consuming game and little bits of my chaacters personallities come out. Dan becomes incresingly hostile and greedy, Helen is scatty and forgetful, Keziah is niave.... you know hte type of thing... anyway they are playing it to waste time cos they've got no baccy, but Helens income support cheque is due in the bank at midnight...
