LET’S LAUGH BY JEFFREY LO
(DOWNLOAD PDF HERE)
A blank stage.
Darkness.
Silence.
After some time we hear things.
We hear the news.
We hear CNN.
We hear MSNBC.
We hear Fox News.
We hear podcasts.
Then we hear politics.
We hear Bernie Sanders.
We hear Barack Obama.
We hear Hilary Clinton.
We hear Donald Trump.
We hear Ted Cruz.
We hear Brett Kavanaugh.
We hear Ruth Bader Ginsberg.
We hear Paul Ryan.
Lights up on US.
A tight, bright, white light on US.
US stands there looking at the audience.
On tops of the noise is music.
On top of the news.
On top of the politics.
Is music.
First rap music.
Then country music.
Then R&B music.
At a high volume we hear a high Ariana Grande note.
It all plays at once.
Suddenly US breaks out into laughter.
While keeping eye contact on the audience, US breaks out into immense laughter.
US breaks into forced laughter.
US breaks into intense laughter.
US laughs.
And laughs.
And laughs.
As US laughs, US breaks into tears.
US laughs and cries.
Laughter and tears.
Laughs.
Tears
Eye contact.
Laughs.
Tears.
Blackout.
END OF PLAY.
