A blank stage.
Lights rise with silence.
The silence keeps going.
A little too long.
Have we started the play?
Is there a play?
Then, from offstage, we can hear sounds.
Lots of sounds.
Loud sounds.
It’s hard to know what it is but it sounds like a lot of hard work is happening.
It’s not ready.
But it’s hard work.
Then
CRASH.
Then
HAILEY stumbles on stage.
HAILEY catches herself before she falls.
HAILEY looks at the audience.
HAILEY smiles at the audience.
HAILEY puts away the fake smile and runs back offstage.
More sounds.
More crashes.
Lights fade.
Tentatively.
END OF PLAY.
