The rules are simple:
* Plays should be 3 minutes or less.
* No characters.
* No fourth wall.
* We are on a stage. We know this. We're not in Victorian England or in a diner in 1969.
* Each play contains up to six ensemble members.
* We have light and sound capabilities.
* Rules can all be bent and broken.

I would call it the 'Life and Times of A. Mayfly'. The scene opens with an everyman, Mr A. Mayfly, eating dumplings at a small restaurant table and beginning, very subtly, to have trouble swallowing a dumpling.
Sudden darkness, then a breakneck performance of the key moments from cradle-to-grave life of said Mr Mayfly - wasted puberty, adolescence, marriage, first son, affair, divorce etc etc. Use as many movie cliches as can be mustered - he's shorter than his first kiss, his wife doubles in size within weeks of marriage (pillows), his son's a jerk etc. We return in the very final scene to A Mayfly - now expired at that table. The point being that this was his life a-flashin' by, having choked on a dumpling...
The only other 3 minute connection I think is of is the length of time my husband takes to... I have said enough! ;-)

find some message you want to convey or an issue your passionate about and it will practically write its self.
