Peas in a Pod
Peas in a Pod is a scene game in which two performers must play characters who are extremely similar in personality, speech patterns, and worldview. The comedy arises from the pair's unified front and the challenge of maintaining interest without conflict. The game teaches performers to find the game within agreement rather than relying on opposition.
