Plot decision

A dull Prime Minister decides to go on tour to ‘re-connect’ with voters with hilarious and surprising consequences

Advantages:
  • It has the potential to be very funny
  • Reflects the zeitgeist of ‘anti-politics'
  • Good opportunities for use of sound effects
  • Quite easy to understand – only three main characters
  • Has potential to sound professional
Disadvantages:
  • Too ‘cheesy’ but it will have to be for some of the humor
  • Is it too obvious?

A Foreign Secretary is at an international summit and becomes paranoid after a series of misdemeanors, only to discover a plot against him – by his own adviser

Advantages:
  • I like the ‘action’ slant of it
  • A plot by his own adviser is believable
  • Again, it is easy to understand
Disadvantages:
  • Maybe very unrealistic?

Conclusion
I have decided that I prefer the first idea because out of the two it is more likely to be the plot of a professional play, although much of how professional it is depends on how well it is written, acted and edited. I will now take the 1st idea forwards to be my final idea. However I believe I can use an element in this idea from the 2nd idea by including an incompetent ‘adviser’ in the drama.
