Time Jump<\/h1>\n

Description<\/h2>\n

Players do a scene, and someone from off stage shouts times to move to e.g. \u201c5 years on, 10 minutes later\u201d etc. Scene moves through time and space.<\/p>\n

Example<\/h2>\n

Location: Fancy restaurant<\/p>\n

Freddie: I’ve counted, and this is the 5,000th potato I’ve peeled since I joined this restaurant: The Grande Velout\u00e9.<\/p>\n

Other chef: I’ve done 6,000 onions. It’s why I’m always crying.<\/p>\n

Freddie: Oh! I thought I kept upsetting you. I know I always put my foot in it.<\/p>\n

Other chef: Don’t be silly Freddie! I love you man.<\/p>\n

Host: 5 years later!<\/p>\n

Other chef: Who would’ve thought? Our own restaurant!<\/p>\n

Freddie: And now we’re in charge, we’ll never have to peel anything again!<\/p>\n

Host: 10 minutes later<\/p>\n

Waiter: Excuse me, the chef’s just cut his finger and we’ve got so much mash to make!<\/p>\n

Freddie: Damn it<\/p>\n

Host: 1000 years before!<\/p>\n

Caveman Freddie: Ug ug ug where’s the peeler<\/p>\n

Teaching Purpose<\/h2>\n
