A good laugh

When a laugh is needed, the young often provide. What follows is a short play with a cast of three, one of which is a non-speaking role.

The setting:

A basement filled with toys. Dad sits at the computer, reading web reports of the London terrorist attack. Two small children play, oblivious to Dad's sadness.


Dad:


Rachel, are you ready for lunch?

4-year-old Rachel:


Unh uh. I am ready for rock and roll! Hit the music, Sam!

18-month-old Samantha laughs and dances.
