Curtains
Setting: A man and woman in a brightly sunlit living room.
Characters:
Giselle (G): Dressed splendidly in a brand new hand made dress.
Robert (R): A kindly man who had let Giselle stay at his place overnight. He was dressed in a suit ready for work.
Dialogue:
R: (With a furious demeanor) What have you done to my curtains? The windows are bare. How do you propose we keep the heat out?
G: (surprised, having never seen anger before) I needed another dress, my old one was torn and dirty.
R: Don’t you know why Nancy ran out? She is my girlfriend and what she saw … she thought was us being intimate—
G: Is this anger I see? I have never seen anger! You must go and sing to her Robert, that will fix everything:
R: This isn’t fantasy world it’s the real world!
Epilogue: Do not compound an accident with an “on purpose’’ The compromising position they were in is an accident. Cutting up perfectly good curtains belonging to a stranger that showed kindness, is an On Purpose.
Will she be allowed stay another night?
