Japanese Proverbs: The
mouth is the cause of
calamity
A type of comedic drama similar to
the housewives tv shows, where the
everything said ends up creating
conflict
Could create a comedic version of
Romeo and Juliet, except more of
a backstory as to how such family
rivalries start in the first place
A male version of the housewives tv shows,
completely over the top and a sort of parody and commentary of how
ridiculous these shows are
A husband and wife and somehow
something is said that ruins everything
The play starts with the parents
over reacting, maybe insulting their
son causing him to run away,
although the audience is aware
that they are good parents, they
just made a mistake
The rest of the play
could be spend from
the parents view
trying to find the son,
highlighting their
extreme guilt and how
they attempt to deal
with it.
Could be seen from the
sons point of view and how
devastated he feels,
teaching the audience how
massive an impact an insult
can be on someones moral
and perception of self-worth
A couple that are always
arguing and eventually both just
run out of steam, the play takes
a very dark turn and they both
die (possibly suicide) trying to
demonstrate the importance of
loving one another to the
audience and letting petty
argument go
The same play as mentioned, but the start being
the couples honey moon, where they are completely
in love and in pure bliss, creating an emotional
connection between the audience and these
charters, as well as making their downfall even more
tragic
A husband and wife who
love each other, but the
husband never shows his
love towards his wife and
in this case it's the mouth's
silence that causes
calamity, being the end of
the couples relationship
The husband is
very wealth and
always working
and it's the
seriousness of his
career and his
ridged childhood
which lead to his
lack of emotional
expression
At the beginning of the play, there is a short introduction of
the two characters and their love for each other, we go on to
see their daily live together, which is filled with
heartbreaking silence. The slow and painful devastation of
the caring wife is seen, until she can no longer bare the
silence and leaves her husband. When she says so, her
husband seems unmoved and remains emotionless, this
hurts the wife even more and she runs out of the room in
tears. The husband (sitting in a chair) remains motionless
for a few long seconds and then tears start pouring down
his face, the stage goes black. Now we see the husband
alone in his daily routine, slowly being broken down by
depression, following in the path of his wife. He no longer
cares about his work and soon losses his job. He stays
inside all day listening to his wives favourite song on repeat
and one day falls asleep in his armchair and never wakes
up. The audience sees his head fall to the side as life
leaves him.
The final scene is the funeral in a grey and sad park, a group of people are huddled around a
casket, the ceremony proceeds, but there is no dialogue or sound. On the far side of the stage
a black silhouette of a women appears. She is holding a white bouquet of flowers and stands
motionless before letting the flowers fall out of her hands and to the ground. The stage goes
dark and the play ends.
A fictionally based world,
interpreting the proverb
literally. Man kind struggling
to survive as massive
creatures devour them.
Possibly paying homage to Japenese culture
and taking inspiration from traditional Japanese
monsters to create the ones in this play.
Possibly a Godzilla monster scenario, watching
from military head quarters as humans try to
deal with this imposing threat
A view from the political heads of the world debating what
or what not to do (example whether or not to use nuclear
force to try and stop the monster, how many human lives
would be lost as collateral damage) a question of morals,
and although it's a different scenario, really it's looking at
man's judgment behind nuclear war. Also a criticism of
human nature lust for war and destruction
A post apocalyptic world, where humans hide in
the shadows and how two try and attempt to
keep love alive, while hungry mouths are
constantly searching for their next meal
