Scene Proposal for My Love, My Love- Office Version

For this project, we decided to change the perspective of the story of My Love, My Love. The main characters of the script will be the gods- Erzulie played by Charlie Swan, Papa Ge played by Taylor, Asaka played by Grace Greene and Agwe played by Michael Davis- and the story will be told from their point of view. Desiree always looked to the gods for guidance in the beginning of her journey, and though we, the readers, do not see much of them, they are accredited with responsibility for many of the story’s events.  They are the puppet masters of everything that goes on on Earth. To show this in our scene, we have set the gods in a control center. The setting is going to be an office where each god handles their daily tasks of controlling the universe. The gods will be doing tedious office work, but their decisions will be affecting many lives. The Gods will receive mail concerning their “principles.” (Erzulie will deal with love, Agwe with storms, etc.) The scene is going to show a fantasy-reality situation. The Gods are going to be dressed as businessmen, but they are going to be making decisions about people’s lives. We’ve decided to present the story this way to show how the gods just treated people as their pawns.
The main conflict for our scene will be gods messing in each other’s departments. Agwe will be messing with Erzulie’s and no one will be listening to Papa Ge. Asaka and Agwe are in an underlying conflict that has disrupted the entire office (proving once and for all that office romances are not a good decision,) but most of the story will be focused on the gods trying to navigate around each other in regards to Desiree’s life.
