Hmmm Jack – There’s a lot of lag with Short and sweet. Infact in my experience some of the 10 minute pieces are 9 minutes too long. And some of them are OLD short plays (ie that have been rejected by other short form festivals and curators only to re-emerge with the writer as director)…
I’m thinking of Really quick, really intense, really reactive writing, relevent, rapid (and other words beginning with ‘R’ that I’m not going to list…”)

Probably just like Short and Sweet.

Ahhh Swampy – the bouncy evolving mystery of words…
Yes Wiki means quick – and I suppose that’s interesting in reference to its relevance and hot social significance – but a bit irrelevant as the show was quite a lengthy piece of quick theatre (two and a bit hours…)
I wonder what true QUICK THEATRE would look like – in pace and duration and form….

Words…marvellous things aren’t they? Their meanings are often plastic. Wiki originally comes from the Hawaiian apparently, meaning ‘quick’, so it can be a wikiplay but now wiki has come to mean a website allowing collaborative input, so it simultaneously can’t. Don’t you just love a living language?

Hmm, since you pointed it out, I think a wikiplay (at least by your definition) would be very interesting indeed. Or has this been done before?
