A Play

"Something that could have been brought to my attention yesterday"
A Play by: Elizabeth
Starring:
Elizabeth- As Herself
Janet - The evil one (you know who!)
Setting: Two females in an office setting. Janet being aged by bitterness appears to be loud and bossy. Elizabeth avoids all eye contact in fear that Satan might actually look back at her)

Janet: I'm going to let you go through the boxes since you opened them. (whispers to audience: So I can print off puzzles and pretend to be busy, with a sinister laugh)
Elizabeth: (Enters the room to find two boxes full of tests to count out. Great effort is shown removing all the sealed exams. Counts all books. Soft swear words are used. Then TIGHTLY seals up both boxes with large amounts of tape. Strains still recovering knee and back putting the boxes in their secure locations.) Janet, do I open the answer packets to check?
Janet: Yes. You should also check the number on the answer sheet with the number on the book, to make sure they match.
Elizabeth: (A blank expression, lost for words) Oh...
Janet: Did you already seal the boxes (does not give time for Elizabeth to answer) OH I can see you did. Wow you really sealed those up. You have to check the numbers because they have been known to give up the wrong keys.
Elizabeth: I didn't realize...
(Janet cuts Elizabeth off again)
Janet: Dont you usually do that?
Elizabeth: I have never opened this particular test before and counted everything. I wish someone would have told me.
Janet: You are going to have to open the box and check.
(If possible, see if fumes can appear to becoming out of Elizabeth's head. Time passes.)
(Janet re-enters)
Janet: You only need to put a small piece of tape across the answers envelope....Oh i can see you already put a lot on there. But I guess that is okay.
(Elizabeth speaks to audience only) Again, something that you could have told me yesterday...(Fumes should still be coming out of her head.)

The End
