In my free time, I took an eight week class where I learned how to write a 10-minute play. At the end of the class the plays were given staged readings by professional actors as part of a sold-out event. After my play was performed, I did a short Q&A with the audience.
My play starts with a moral dilemma:
Three people are settling a far off planet. When the life support fails and there’s only enough food for two people, who should be sacrificed for the greater good? The engineer, the doctor, or the artist.
