NWC #23- "A Turkey
Dies in this one" DUE Nov 24th at 8am
CHALLENGE- A turkey dies
in this one. A real one. A real life freaking bird.
PETA is tipped off and
they crash the opening performance.
Write the play that is
drowned out in protests from PETA
Bonus- we can
"know" the thoughts of the turkey throughout by some staging device
(projections, audio, etc)
(My Thanksgiving so far
isn't really about a dead turkey, it's more about to very living dogs...)
A
guy sitting on a couch with a dog snug up against his leg, and another perched
up on his shoulders, wrapped around his neck.
Typing on a laptop.
GUY
There
is nothing quite so warm as two living things snuggled up tightly against you,
peacefully asleep.
NECK DOG
You
don't mind if I lick your ear periodically, do you?
GUY
No,
that is surprisingly sweet and not disgusting.
NECK DOG
I
will now burrow my snout in between your shoulder and the couch.
GUY
I
am now afraid to move. Ever.
LEG DOG
You
don't really want to move, now do you?
GUY
No,
not really.
LEG DOG
We
didn't know you existed when we woke up yesterday.
NECK DOG
We
saw him on the computer though, when they were Skyping him.
LEG DOG
Yes,
but he was so tiny in the computer. He
arrived for me as this enormous surprise.
NECK DOG
Now
we'll recognize him on the computer the next time he calls.
LEG DOG
We
can't smell him on the computer, though.
NECK DOG
No,
this is true.
LEG DOG
We
can't lick him on the computer.
NECK DOG
They
do frown on us licking the computer, this is true.
LEG DOG
He
can't take us for walks on the computer.
NECK DOG
Well,
they could take the computer for a walk along with us.
LEG DOG
I
want his hand on my leash.
NECK DOG
I
want him to force me into that ridiculous looking tiny sweater so I don't get
cold.
LEG DOG
I
want him to cheer every time I poop in an appropriate place.
NECK DOG
I
want him to cheer every time I pee in an appropriate place.
LEG DOG
I
want him to always give me snacks.
NECK DOG
I
want him to look at me with those sad human eyes.
LEG DOG
He's
only sad because he realizes he will probably never know the immediate and
unconditional love he received from us with another human being.
NECK DOG
Human
beings are needlessly complicated.
LEG DOG
Human
beings are stupid.
NECK DOG
This
one's all right though.
LEG DOG
I'm
sleepy.
NECK DOG
Me,
too.
LEG DOG
I
sleep much better when he's here.
NECK DOG
Weird
that we didn't even know him yesterday.
LEG DOG
Life
is full of wonderful surprises.
NECK DOG
He
keeps mistyping Dog as God.
LEG DOG
Easy
mistake.
