    Serves: 4 –5

    Cook Time: 5—7 min

    Ingredients

    • 2 chairs

    Instructions

    • 2 players are the ‘bosses’
    • 1 player is being fired
    • Remaining players are various employees where the firing occurs.
    • Employee to be fired leaves the room while the remaining players ask audience for: 3 reasons why they are being fired and what the business they actually are being fired from.
    • Remaining players may help give cues; preferably through action.

    Notes

    1 Player who is being fired from the company leaves the room while the ‘ask fors’ are established (see above). The player returns to the room greeted by one of the remaining players who is their fellow ‘co-worker’. The player and the two bosses begin a dialogue until they say ‘so, we’re firing you….’. At this point the bosses and the remaining players must give clues to the player being fired who then guesses all the ‘ask for’ information.
