Jack And Jill Plays - Part 23 - A Small Cough

About Jack and Jill Plays:


This is a new thing I'm doing.  Posting a short play every day as long as I can.  This does not mean that I wrote this play today but I might have.  (My life is not always my own what with work and a 4 year old running around so maybe I wrote it today or maybe it was stockpiled in preparation for the days I can't get in writing.)  My goal is to do at least 100 of these or maybe more but probably 45 or 50 is the length of a full length play so even that would be good.  100 would be better.  300?  amazing.  500?  Does anyone want 500 of these plays?  Anyway, the goal is consecutive days.


The normal things about plays apply-- don't produce or reproduce this play without my permission.  I wrote it so I own it.  Etc.







A Small Cough

by Adam Szymkowicz





(JACK has a coughing fit.  It goes on for a while and then it stops.)



JILL

You should get that looked at.



JACK

Yeah.



JILL

Really.



JACK

I know.



JILL

You won't though, will you?



JACK

I might.



JILL

Don't you want to feel better?  Don't you want to be better?



JACK

Kind of.



JILL

Right?



JACK

Kind of.



JILL

Yeah.



(JACK coughs but not as much as before.)



JACK

I think I'm getting better.



JILL

I don't want to worry about you and me both.



JACK

Don't worry about anything.



JILL

I won't.



JACK

Good.  What are we fighting about?



JILL

We're not fighting.



JACK

Then let's have sex.



JILL

Okay.



(They look at each other.  They don't move.)
