Write an 1800- to 2000-word script. The script will be based on the theme of morality from Rameau’s Nephew by Diderot, but with modern characters in a unique setting. In this new script, the characters should each have a discernible position about morality. Both characters will try to indoctrinate one’s personal philosophy on to others. However, the catch is, as they add their personal philosophies to the other’s, they also subtract from their own philosophical core. The dialogue needs to represent the positions fairly and there needs to be development in their positions, whether that development entails growth through challenge and objection, or contradiction, or both, or some other way. Think about the techniques of Diderot, including contradiction, both internal and external. Please include satire, humor, and clever hidden stage/narration notes. Don’t make it blatantly obvious they are speaking about morality and their own philosophic beliefs.
