Multiple interpretation is the performance of a literary selection with three to eight participants in front of, but not necessarily facing, the audience at all times. The event is designed to encourage the analysis and performance of literature of literary merit, and should not be dominated by original material. The literary presentation must consist of. (1) a single selection of prose, poetry, or drama; or (2) any combination of prose and/or poetry, and/or drama. Multiples will be identified at tournaments by the appropriate code and the title of the presentation of the group. Original material may be used only as a transitional device, may not dominate the presentation in terms of time or portion of script, and must enhance the literature presented.
