A Short Play in Four Acts

[vito_excalibur]

ACT I
ALICE, an older blonde woman, and NENA, a younger dark-haired woman, are sitting at a kitchen table in ALICE's comfortable suburban house. A perfunctory knocking is heard, then LIZ, another older blonde, opens the porch door from outside and enters.LIZ: Alice, hi, have you seen - oh, look who's here

I *love* this.

What a great example of how messy real life is, bravo!

[vito_excalibur]

Thanks. Yeah, Liz has really put Alice in a very uncomfortable situation.

I like this very much standalone, but it feels like I'd find it much funnier if I knew what it was a reference to :-)

An allusion to the Elizabeth Moon/Wiscon conundrum.

This is sad. Liz doesn't want Alice to have other friends.

But I like the pictures!

....wow. You are absolutely right, and I hadn't put it in those words yet. :/

[mamagotcha]

You are awesome.
