That's What Friends Are For: A Very Short Play

SETTING:
A Japanese hibachi-style restaurant in southwest Florida. MARTHAWHO, MR. MARTHAWHO, MARTHAWHO's BROTHER IN LAW, MARTHAWHO's BEST FRIEND, BEST FRIEND'S HUSBAND and BEST FRIEND'S BROTHER IN LAW are seated at 6 of 24 filled seats around 2 center grills. The restaurant is noisy and it is hard to hear normal conversation.

MARTHAWHO is busy telling BEST FRIEND's BROTHER IN LAW about the latest antics of her two year old daughter.

MARTHAWHO:
... so she has been really feisty that week let me tell you. I mean, major meltdowns -- no, make that multiple major meltdowns every day. She's such a drama queen. She's cute and we love her, but let's just say she's definitely acting her age.

BEST FRIEND (knowingly):
Oh... you must be talking about your mother in law...

CURTAIN.



ps: S, I told you I'd get you into my blog...
