This script is arranged into eight parts, four characters and four narrators, so if you have, let's say, a class of 24, you could have three groups reading it aloud simultaneously, two in the class and one in the hallway. The script itself will take less tha

Absurdist Satire: "Lifeboat" by Monty Python
Satire is edgy and can even push into the outrageous. This skit is edgy but it’s clearly not meant to be taken seriously. The outrageous is balanced by its silly, wacky style.

While satire can be harsh when directed at individuals (usually those in government or in power), satire’s ultimate goal is to use freedom of speech, a constitutional right, to improve society through
