A Short Comedy
by Joseph P. Krawczyk
Approximate Playing Time: 15 minutes
Heather and Mark, a twenty-something couple, live together in her apartment in NYC. In this comedic two-hander, Heather senses that something is out of whack. When Mark drops to his knee she expects a proposal, only to discover, in his own bizarre attempt at total honesty, that he is considering exploring a relationship with the woman at the perfume counter at Macy’s. His unsettling and difficult to process proposal is that Heather wait in the wings while he pursues the possibility of a relationship-in case it doesn’t work out. After all, why should it jeopardize all the time they’ve spent together? Heather’s reaction isn’t quite what he expected when she loses herself in an anxiety-fueled rant that leaves him reeling. $10 Single Use Copyright Fee plus $20 Royalty per Performance for Amateur Theatre. Professional Theatre Royalties Calculated on Application.
