THE MISEDUCATION BY JEFFREY LO

MS. HILL speaking to a group of elementary school aged students.

MS. HILL:

Listen up children.

Are you listening?

How many of you would like to be famous?

Mmm…

I thought I’d see that.

I was worried I’d see that.

I was worried you’d all feel that.

No, don’t look disappointed.

I’m not judging any of you.

I understand.

I just worry.

As you are young.

Very young.

And I would just like to… talk you through my experience.

My thoughts.

My knowledge.

Of fame.

 

Pause.

 

MS. HILL:

There are people out there.

People are searching for those who desire fame.

Who can acquire fame.

Who have “what it takes” as they say.

I’m here to tell you two things.

One – you all have what it takes.

Two – be careful what you want.

Call me Ms. Hill.

Blackout.

END OF PLAY.
