Questions about the Scenario
After you have written your scenario, let other people read it.
Ask them these questions:

2. Is the setting a logical place for the play to take place?
3. Is the problem something the audience wants to know more about? Does the problem fit the characters and setting?
4. Which incidents help to tell the story or make it more interesting?
5. Does the ending solve the problem? Is it what you expected? Why or why not?
   Is there anything you’d like to change about your scenario? If so, do so.
