Eating a Porpoise

This is part one of my play, eating a porpoise. Hope you enjoy


Scene 1
Part 1
There is a well furnished room but it is all centered around a MOTHER who is lying on a medical bed. Ron [enters stage left holding a bowl of cereal] walks across the room, sits on the couch and begins to eat. Jason lifts up the remote and turns the television on. Daniel/ Father (enters stage left) walks in and rips the remote out of Jason’s hand.
Ron: What the hell???
Daniel/ Father: It is six in the morning. Too early for this crap.
Ron: This is music. Not SpongeBob.
Daniel/ Father: I don’t care. Now go get ready for school and stop arguing with me in front of your mother.
Ron: Whatever
Ron gets up, walks down stage and sits down on the edge of the stage. Daniel/ Father throws the remote onto the couch walks off (stage right).
Ron: Every morning my dad wakes me up for school. I take my shower, do the guy thing, get dressed and walk out to the living room. There I walk by my dyeing mother and get my breakfast whether it be pop-tarts or cereal. I take my breakfast into the living room, turn the television on to some music and then I wait. I wait for the bus while my mother pi***s into a bag. Joy.
Ron points behind him as Daniel/ Father walks back on stage. Daniel/ Father walks over to Mother and kneels beside her in a praying position.
Ron: He thinks I don’t know about his daily prayer… begging God to try to heal her. It is insane. As though God is going to answer him.
Daniel/ Father: Dear lord please heal my wife. I need her so much right now but why must you take her from me? Why?
Daniel/ father gets up and wipes the tears from his face. He slowly drags his bod across the stage until leaving stage right. Ron stands up and walks down stage left and then stops right before he walks off.
Ron: What a pansy
Ron exit stage right


Guess what the only near bad word is censored. Please enjoy.
