Help About a Drama for Class?
Question by Lexy Katherine: Help about a drama for class?
I wrote a drama for my class, and had 2 questions. 1. How long do you think it would be? 2. Is it good?
[A Light comes on. The scene is a bedroom. A girl and her friend are sitting on the bed. The friend has a sign around her neck that says drugs. A man in a white robe is standing to one side with a sign that says Jesus around his neck. On the other side, a man in red with a pitchfork has a sign which says Satan.]
“Come on! It won’t hurt you to take one Susie!” the friend says.
“My parents told me to stay away from drugs.” says Susie.
“Just try it! I took one and it didn’t hurt me!”
“No!”
“Come on! I thought you were my friend!”
“Well, I guess it wouldn’t hurt just to take one.”
The girl puts a pill (which is really candy) in her mouth. The friend takes the sign off her neck and puts it on the girl.
[Scene changes to a party. Music is playing quietly so you can hear the people talking. People all over have signs on their neck. Greed, lust, envy, depression, suicide, etc. They have cups in their hands.]
“Hey Susie!” a guy with a sign that says alcohol says.
“Oh hey John.” Susie (still wearing the other sign) says.
“You want some?”
“Some beer?”
“Yea! Try it!”
“I thought that was bad for you.”
“No! It tastes good! Try it!”
“No!”
“Try it!”
“No!”
“Try it!”
“Fine, but just one sip.”
She sips a cup, but ends up drinking more. John takes the sign off his neck and puts it on hers.
[Scene stays the same, but Susie walks around frantically. Jesus reaches out to her, but she turns her back on him.]
“Guess what?” the friend from earlier says. This time she has a sign that says lying around her neck.
“What?!”
The girl whispers something in Susie’s ear. She goes to another person and tells them. The girl puts lying on Susie’s neck.
[Scene changes to a school hallway. People are all in their own groups except for Susie.]
“Hey Susie!” a girl says, emerging from a group.
“Oh hey Lisa.” she says.
“Do you wanna come to my house this afternoon? Everybody’s gonna be there!”
“Ummm, sure.”
“Okay, here’s my address.” Lisa hands Susie a paper.
“Thanks.”
“Oh, no problem. See you there!”
Lisa walks off laughing with friends.
[Scene changes to an abandoned house. Susie starts crying. Jesus reaches out for her again. She turns him down. On the ground is a sign.]
“Ugh! I can’t believe I believed them!”, Susie murmurs to herself, “Oh who am I kidding! I wanna be just like them! I wanna be doing this to girls not being the victim of it!”
She picks up the sign and puts it on herself. It says envy.
[Scene changes back to the hallway.]
Lisa walks up to Susie again, this time, saying
“So did you have fun in the middle of loserville last night?” Lisa and her friends laugh.
Susie runs out of site.
[Scene changes to Susie’s house. A suitcase is on the table.]
“I can’t believe you!” the mom says.
“Sneaking out of the house to go to some party that doesn’t even exist!” the dad adds on.
“I’m sorry! Didn’t you do stuff like this when you were a kid?” Susie asked.
“No! I never did anything like this,” , the mom said, “and I didn’t think you ever would! I don’t want you in this house anymore! Leave!”
“Mom!”, Susie said with tears running down her cheeks, “Please! Give me another chance!”
“You are out of second chances! Leave! And I mean now!”
Susie runs out of the house.
[Scene changes to an alley. There’s a bonfire and homeless people all around it, one of them wearing a sign that says depression, another with suicide.]
Susie walks up to the bonfire. The man with depression walks up and puts in on her neck. The man with suicide walks toward her, but she runs away, past Jesus. Jesus knocks the man back and reaches out toward Susie. Susie accepts this time. He takes the sign off his neck, removes hers, puts her own on his and his on her.
[Scene changes to her house. Her parents hug and kiss her. Lights dim out.]
