Alternate Ending Re-thought

Ok.

The alternate ending idea is nice...but writers block hits the best (and worst) of us.

But i did think that it would be an excellent idea to explore the idea of the possibilities of alternate endings in Mystery Play. As in one house module of sorts, but alternate explorations of that one basic module. I have thought this through quite a bit more than it sounds but don't want to give too much away...

I have also found some excellent sources of inspiration through the Graffiti Art of one 'Banksy' Who mainly caught my eye with his Graffiti along the Palestine/Israel Segregation wall.
This one depicts an officer of sorts pulling apart a section of the wall to reveal sunny beaches on the other side. I just find it fascinating how a graphic can change whole aspects of simple objects...and also highlight many many more themes and meanings behind this wall.

This was also another one i noted, I'm not 100% sure on the meaning and significance of the black balloons but did see part of a doco that had many of the locals holding black balloons along the wall. Its showing a longing for freedom, its very sad, seeing two countries forced to separate themselves with a massive wall, a childs longing to escape shows alot of innocence being destroyed by this barrier.


I would love to see an alternate ending to the Palestine/Israel conflict...

I love Banksy! Have you seen the ones where he puts up fake council stencils proclaiming random walls legal to put graffiti up on? I think it's in his book. There's photos of it like Day 2, Day 5 and so on and after a week they're absolutely destroyed.

By the way that image is from here:
