Project Background

As an assignment for my graduate playwriting class, the prompt for this script was to write a 10-minute play in which one character convinces the other to do something that they would never usually do. Because so much of my writing skews toward humor, I wanted to write something with a serious tone.

In this 10-minute play, Justin and Alex make a gruesome discovery after buying a storage unit at auction. They must decide whether or not they will risk their newfound wealth by going to the police.
