I invented a new form today.
We first create a "hermit crab" for our play. It is a pre-existing structure like an oral exam, a job interview... We also have premise: time travel, mistaken identity, fantastical transformation...
person a] writes 10 questions
b] writes 10 questions
c] answers b's questions
We pair c's answers with a's questions, or with a combination of the two sets of questions.
Now we write stage directions and a title, and perform our work. My students are doing this right as we speak. I will let you know how it turned out.

It had mixed results. Some groups couldn't do it in the time allotted. A few were brilliant, and a few mixed. Unexpected benefit: students got to know each other better.
