Sybil

How it Works

This is basically a one-person Long Form . In this format the player plays all characters. The play typically starts with a character monologue and then goes into scenes alternated with more monologues.

One could summarize the 'rules' as:

  • you play all the characters and their dialogue in the scenes
  • monologues are either internal (to the character) or to the audience, addresses as a group (a minister preaching to a church, a person introducing himself at a job interview).

Origin

The format is attributed to Andy Eninger. The name is based on a book with the same title, about Sybil Dorsett, a survivor of child abuse who was diagnosed with the first multiple personality disorder. She alledgedly played host to 16 separate personalities.
