4 One Minute Plays

Below are 2 one minute plays I wrote for the NY Indie One Minute Play Festival.  And here are the two I posted the last time I did this--the Primary Stages one from last year.



OUR RELATIONSHIP



By Adam Szymkowicz



(TWO PEOPLE one in front of the other, in line, waiting. J and Q enter and reach the end of the line at the same moment. They both motion for the other to go.)



Q

You were here first.



J

No, you.



Q

You go. Please.



J

I insist.



Q

No.



J

I insist.



Q

Well okay.



J

Do I… Do I know you?



Q

No. No? No.



J

You're on the Internet?



Q

Yes.



J

We hate each other.



Q

Yes.

























THE CHEESE



By Adam Szymkowicz



(SUE and BETSY seated.)



SUE

I just can’t any more.



BETSY

Oh right. Because of everything.



SUE

I feel like I don’t want to read anything or see anything or experience anything because if I like it, the week after someone will write an article telling me how my experience is wrong and I shouldn’t like it because—



BETSY

I know.



SUE

We could. I dunno. You wanna. Like drop out?



BETSY

Nah. I’d miss the cheese.



SUE

Yeah.



BETSY

The cheese.



(They think about the cheese.)



SUE

Okay so just to be clear… is this a date?



BETSY

Oh. No. I mean. No. Except. Okay. Maybe. I don’t like girls, but okay, yes. Yes. But we’re not dropping out though?



SUE

No.



BETSY

Okay.
