Sarah's New Life: A Play in One Act

[Curtain opens on a small room inside a bland chain hotel. It is dark and quiet… Until SARAH (not a day over 17) enters. She illuminates the scene with her stunning presence.]

Sarah: Where did everyone go?

[Silence].

Sarah: I said, where did everyone go?!
Beige Wall: Probably to a great big party you're not invited to.
Sarah: Woah, you're a hotel room wall! You're not supposed to talk!
Beige Wall: I'm not. But you've gotten so bored this last week that I've gradually become your best friend.
Sarah: My lord, that's sad.
Beige Wall: I resent that.
Sarah: I resent you.
Beige Wall: Fine. This friendship is over.
Sarah: But it wasn't even real to begin with!
Beige Wall: Whatevs.

[Silence. ]

[Sarah sits on the bed and crosses her arms. She is angry and alone. Until she picks up the remote and turns on the television. New episodes of Project Runway make her totally happy… for a little while].

The End
