DEVISED - Scene work with Taylor and Warren 8/2/17

We decided to make an introductory scene to my character, and at the same time an introductory scene to the whole piece. We started it with me falling of a chair as if I've just hung myself, and then i wake up in purgatory all confused and unaware - at which point I meet Adam (Warren) who very vaguely without giving much away at all tells me where I am (in fact, the most i find out from him is that 'this is my placement'). We decided to give purgatory some sort of code name, which is 'Placement' so that we don't give the twist away to the audience. Throughout this scene, my character has very disjointed and jumbled speech, he's confused and a little scared, and he begins to get slightly agitated by the vague and useless information he's getting form Adam. The also shows Adam's cock, arrogant and all-knowing nature, and we decided that Adam would be particularly interested in my case for some reason (not even he knows, people could speculate it's because he notices a fire inside of me when I first see Taylor) as a pose to the others since he has had this conversation probably millions of times prior.

New lesson - Help from Tom
Scene 2 – Cameron’s intro (Cameron, Adam, Taylor)

(Cameron suddenly bursts through the church doors and falls unconscious on the floor for a moment)

Adam: You all right there? I saw your fall. (Cameron jumps at the sound of his voice, he doesn't answer) Do you know why you're why you're? (No answer) No, of course not tsss... It's ok. Take a minute. I understand it's a lot to take in.

Cameron: What is this?

Adam: This? This is your placement.

Cameron: What? What's...'placement'?

Adam: This here. Everything you see before you. This is your placement.

(Cameron cannot find words, he is still confused)

Adam: Again, take a minute. I understand it's a lot to take in.

(Taylor enters)

Taylor: Adam?

Adam: Can you wait a minute please?

Cameron: (To Adam) Who is she?

Adam: Don't worry about her. She's from...some place else. Which I highly doubt you'll be going there.

(Pause)

Cameron: (To Taylor) Sorry but who is he?

Taylor: Adam.

Cameron: Great well that helps.

Adam: Again, I understand...

Cameron: No I don't think you understand; I don't know who you are or what you want with me in this...what ever this place is...Stop being so vague and give me something.

Taylor: It may be vague now, and confusing, and muddled, but give it time. It will come together very soon just relax. Trust us.

Adam: What I suggest you do, is take a minute and calm yourself. Take a seat and think. Try to remember.

Cameron: Remember what exactly?

Adam: I want you to try to remember why you may be here.

Cameron: (After a pause of thought) I'm sorry but I don't know.
