Paul Grennan, an English teacher at Inner Mongolia University of Finance and Economics, used some of my ten minute plays as a way for his students to practice English.
He sent me a clip from “In the Ductwork.”
The play actually makes sense. This is not the whole thing. The noise they are referring to is a possum that’s stuck in the ductwork.
According to Paul, Mongolian students are wonderful to teach and very shy when speaking English. They speak Mongolian and study Chinese and English. They are very traditional. Their families are shepherds.
Paul says these students are in a rather special class.
It looks to me like Paul is rather special himself.
