Needs
by Debra Bruch
6 people needed:
- 2 people sitting at a table
- 3 babies
- 1 woman
NEEDED: 4 baby bottles table and 2 chairs
Two people are sitting at a table. They have two
baby bottles. Three people as babies are sitting on the floor. The babies
start to cry. A woman enters with two bottles and gives the bottles
to two of the babies. Those two stop crying, but the one without continues.
The woman searches the area for another bottle in vain. One person at
the table rises and begins to cross to the baby to give the baby his
bottle, but the other person at the table rises, stops him, and sits
him back down. The baby continues to cry and the woman continues to
search. Finally, the person at the table rises again to give his bottle,
and the other person tries to stop him. But he says no to the other
person and gives the crying baby his bottle anyway, who then stops crying.
He then crosses to the woman. They cross to the babies, help them stand
and exit all together. The person at the table is now alone. He looks
around himself and is ashamed. The person stands, crosses to center
stage, places the bottle on the floor, and exits.
