ReplyDeleteOne sentence summary:
Three unlikely people find themselves having to work out their differences and cooperate with each other to avoid being fired.
as discussed in class - three characters will mean u need to set them up in act 1 for audience to know them better. it might be easier with 2 characters, also when u have conflict. OR your 3rd character can be a passive/supporting character in your story.
