Prospectus
Description of the Project:
I began writing
this piece during the playwriting workshop we did back in November. I really enjoyed
writing this scene, so I decided to continue refining and revising it. I would
like to continue making revisions and expanding the scene a bit more.
Characters:
Mr. Z: an older,
more experienced member of the group.
Mr. X: a cool, easy
going younger member who usually keeps quiet and follows orders.
Mr. Y: an energetic
but slimy younger member; a bit older than Mr. X.
Officer Calvin: a
young police officer being held hostage.
Synopsis:
A group of men meet
at a warehouse after a heist. Mr. X has taken a police officer hostage because
the heist did not go as planned. Mr. X explains to Mr. Z that he could never
kill anybody because he would never be able to stand the guilt. He can’t stand
seeing another man being tortured.
The men believe the
police may have followed them to the warehouse, so Mr. X and Mr. Y begin
packing up as Mr. Z takes out his revenge on the officer that is being held
hostage. Mr. Z reveals that he remembers this officer because he paralyzed his
brother. As Mr. Z tortures Officer Calvin, Mr. X shoots Mr. Z. He lets the
officer go and, realizing what he has done, crumbles to the floor holding Mr. Z
in his arms.
