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.
