Synopsis: Villains of several fairy tales (The Big Bad Wolf, Troll, Witch, Step-mother, and Spider) all gather in a coffee/break room before setting out on their day jobs, as they discuss the perils of their various roles. For example, the Wolf has developed asthma; that along with his increasing age is causing him trouble blowing the pigs' houses down. | |||||

Turns out that he has another side to his life that he has never shown her, and she finds out what he's really like when he finally decides to introduce her to his other friends. This play was written for a 24-hour play festival, in which I drew a subject out of a hat to write a play overnight; the subject I drew was "good clown, bad clown." | |||||

Synopsis: | A new reality show called "How Much Pain Can You Take Before You Pass Out" is airing live on national television. Three contestants have been selected to allow themselves to be inflicted with increasing amounts of pain until there is a winner. It is obvious from the start that the MC and the spokes model have already had a "relationship," which adds to the "live on national television" drama. This play was written for a 24-hour play festival, in which I drew a subject out of a hat to write a play overnight; the subject I drew was "When life gives you lemons, you'd better not have a paper cut." | |||||
