Life Cycle
1 person enters right carrying an invisible watering can and shovel.  Puts objects down.  Gets person 2 from right, and carries them on.  Person 2 is tucked into a tight, small ball.  Person 1 picks up their shovel and digs a hole for person 2.  Puts Person 2 in hole and covers with dirt.  Waters.  Person 2 begins to become bigger.  Person 1 constantly looks every time Person 2 turns away.  Person 2 grows until it is standing tall and Person 1 is no longer looking and is wearing big sunglasses and reading a magazine and doesn’t care about Person 2 anymore.  So Person 2, having been careful before not to move its roots of legs, stiffly walks over and swallows person 1.

this blog is where we'll post play submissions for the 2009 two-minutes play contest as soon as we start receiving them. readers will read and rate the plays, and based on those ratings, we'll narrow down the submissions to a final group. each play must be read by at least three readers.
If one could solve the staging problem of dirt and hole, might rate higher.
ReplyDeleteClever idea, if a bit too short. Don't need dirt or water, but the small ball might pose a problem.
