although honestly, a play where someone gets stabbed in the first scene, and all the actors are horrified by the fact that instead of bleeding and dying, a red scarf comes out, they see he is still breathing but unresponsive. then they spend the rest of the play having an existential crisis slowly realizing that they are in a play and they will all cease to exist when it’s over.

  Tom Stoppard already pretty much did. Watch ‘Rosencranz and Guildenstern are Dead’.

  no idea how to write theater or scripts, I did write a short story where someone starts hearing the narrator on his dream and they have a conversation and end up having an existential crisis. even when the narrator promised him that he will forget the dream.
