About The Play
Comedy.3 either. 10 minutes. Suitable for high school and older.
Premiered at City Theater Company's Delaware Ten-Minute Play Festival. It is possible to do the cast with all men, all women, or with the Man played by a woman (to very comic effect) and Godot and the Boy as men. Godot should not be played by a Woman (and nor should the Boy) if the Man is, indeed, played by a man.
Synopsis
Con artist Godot lives with the amnesiac Boy. He's preparing to fleece his next marks, Vladimir and Estragon, but before he can go, a threatening Man arrives. Evidently, Godot's actions have gotten him in trouble with the wrong people, and the Man is their enforcer. The only way Godot can escape certain pain is to pretend that he is not, in fact, Godot, but Godot's butler. When the enforcer decides to stay and wait for the seemingly absent Godot to return, will the real Godot become stuck waiting for himself?
Online Playwriting Class Starts on May 21st! I will be teaching a month-long online playwriting class through Writers University beginning on May 21.
Festivals, Festivals, Festivals I am excited to be attending a number of national conferences in the coming months. First up, the International Thespian Festival in Lincoln, Nebraska in late June, where I'll be teaching a quartet of writing workshops and hanging out at the Playscripts booth!
The Locker Next to Mine Now Available
My new play, The Locker Next to Mine, is now available. It's a full-length drama, though spiked with humor, about teen suicide and dealing with loss. I'm looking for a group to stage the world premiere. Could that be you?
Though the one-act version, available from Playscripts, stands on its own (and is perfect for competition!), this play was always intended to be a full-length composed of three acts: Rumors of Polar Bears, Ursa Major and Northern Lights. Look for the other two plays in the cycle sometime in 2012.
