Bitter

AT RISE:

A MAN does laundry. For an hour. Most of the hour is spent sitting around waiting for the washer and dryer. The rest is spent readinga succession of take-out menus. The audience is enraptured because this is EXPERIMENTAL and BORING, and thus must be ART. To re-enforce this, and to make the audience feel better about spending fifty bucks, there is music by PHILLIP GLASS.

Between wshing and drying, the MAN should doff all his clothes. The house lights then come up as he does nude jumping jacks while asking the audience pointed questions about their lifestyle choices. He may or may not "tea-bag" an unwilling spectator.

And finally, the laundry is done, the man exits and the audience goes home, poorer, but a little wiser.

BLACKOUT. END PLAY.
