| Reporting From... by Liliya Sazanavets |
| Roles | Minimum Male roles = 3. Minimum Female roles = 3. Minimum total with doubling = 6. Minimum total without doubling = 12. No chorus. A lot of doubling is possible, but the author does not recommend it, because each character represents a specific group in society and the characters have to deliver a clear message to the audience. |
| Run Time | Around 20 minutes. [Estimated!] This is based on the author's experience. Since there is no dialogue it is very difficult to judge! |
| Music | None. |
| Style | Mimodrama - a drama with no spoken words where plot and emotions are conveyed through actions. Performed well, this could be a very powerful piece. Props and furniture (including a swing) but no fixed set. |
