Overview

Synopsis

The Actor 'prepares' in front of the mirror. He is unprepared for the arrival of his Director, who has kidnapped a German man at the airport and brought him to the actor for practice. This isn't exactly what the Actor had in mind when he said he wanted "German lessons" for Christmas. How far will he take his craft to prepare 'to become' the German?

This is a ten minute play.
