Dare I go on?
Jan. 27th, 2009 02:07 pmI've been a good boy today, reading one act plays.
The group I've just read were all sent to me through a friend, written by college students in a playwriting competition over a few years.
The first one has 4 recently dead characters - one shot by her husband, one heart attack, one in childbirth, and one by overdose.
The second one has the best friend and the love interest of the main character die during the play, leaving the lead (pronounced either way) character alone and feeling useless.
The third is filled with angst and despair and job loss and cancer.
The fourth has our recently deceased protagonist discovering he's been betrayed by his wife, brother, and best friend.
I'm not sure I am up to reading more of these!
(Okay. Yes, I am. But, still...)
