Jail

Two Minute Play

Cast: Three males

Set: In a dark room resembling jail by themselves, all three start in room

Roles: Guard, two prisoners

Prisoner 1 always talks in a highly annoying voice in a tone that is extremely questioning


Guard (in a menacing voice): You guys better get to know each other, you two are cell mates for the next couple of days at least. You will eat together, sleep in the same room, go places together, and basically do everything together. And you will be well behaved, if you ever wanna get outta here. Is that clear.


Prisoners (mumbling): Yes sir


(Guard walks out of room)


Prisoner 1: I guess we might as well get to know each other, my name is glen, yours?


Prisoner 2: Tom


Prisoner 1: How long have you been here?


(Long pause, no response)


Prisoner 1: Well I just got here today, what did you say your name was again?


Prisoner 2 (aggravated): Tom


Prisoner 1: Ahhhh, right right sorry, why are you here?


(long pause, no response)


Prisoner 1 (in an extremely questioning tone: I got put in here for driving way to fast, so I'll probably be gone in a couple of days, are you getting out soon? Tell me a little about your family history? Anything I should know about since we will be getting to know each other pretty well?


Prisoner 2 (extremely aggravated): No, I will never get out, I'm in here for murder, assault, domestic violence, and armed robbery. They thought it was anger related, so they put me into anger management, but I beat the advisor for asking me too many questions (stands up and stares prisoner 1 down)
