The exercise:

We really enjoyed the show last night - we were sitting in the third row so it felt really intimate, like there was no real separation between audience and actors. The performances were totally absorbing, I was impressed by all six actors.

One of the main themes of the play was cheating (he's cheating on her, she's cheating on him, who's cheating when?) so I'll use that as today's starter.

Mine:

The test results have come back,
I seem to have won a plaque;
There's just one problem with that:
I stole my answers from Matt.

I'm just really not that smart,
I just try to play the part;
And now I have the top mark,
Though my head's still in the dark.

I can't tell them the truth now,
I would be a disgraced frau;
I would be kicked out of town,
Or thrown in the lake to drown.

So this secret I shall keep,
It will haunt me in my sleep;
Learn this lesson that I speak:
Lies are only for the weak.
