Description

Rehearsals and Returns is about conversations that will never take place.

This non-power fantasy invites players to say something explicitly nice, mean, or wise to various people alive and dead such as Genghis Khan, Hillary Clinton, James Gandolfini, and Leni Reifenstahl. If you had a moment with a significant figure of today or long ago, what would you say?

Games let us explore all sorts of fantasies, and Rehearsals and Returns lets us ponder the shortest of exchanges, including the ones we cannot revisit. These days modern media lets us share all of our thoughts, but what would you say if no one was listening?
