Oh I like this, I like it a lot.

Very twisty at the beginning, first convincing us it’s an argument, then the director makes us think it’s the play, but then – oh, no, it really is an argument!

I think you’ve captured the more commercial side of theatre with this, because let’s face it, it’s not all luvvies and thesps, it’s a tough ol’ world…

Good work – thanks for entering! MH :)

Nicely done. You really had me wondering until the director’s last outburst what the exact nature was. Real situation, then scene, then real. Good job.

And yes, there’s lots of hooking up backstage during a play. That’s why I joined Drama Club in high school.

I enjoyed this as well.

Loved the Costco reference. Makes me want a chicken bake and a churro.

I also think this demonstrates an appropriate use of profanity. The vulgar language makes sense and propels the story.

Thanks for the comments! I’m not usually one to use profanity, but it seemed appropriate to the characters. I certainly feel like my theater friends are liberal with their swearing, on the whole. And I’m trying to get away from twist endings, so I thought maybe a twist beginning would be a nice change. ;-)

Wow, had me going for a second. Love the director’s attitude.
