THE AMERICAN WAY – SATIRE FEATURING AMERICAN RIGHT WINGERS

Ada and Berg are just your typical American couple. Ada is a stay at home mom, baking with the kids and Berg earns the money to keep them living in the style to which they are accustomed. For they do have a lovely home, furnished in the latest style complete with a copy of the Bible and the American flag, of course. Even Jesus is present in the pictures on the wall. They have two very all American children, Melissa who naturally helps her mom out around the house and Weldon who spends all time away from his family playing shoot ’em up computer games. In fact, he’s gotten so good, Berg harbors secret hopes that he’ll one day join the army and operate drones to kill all those gosh darn evil terrorists invading American soil in this satire featuring American right wingers.

Today Berg has brought some surprises home for Ada and for the kids. Of course they’re American made, because you wouldn’t trust anything foreign, would you? American made, and American quality. The best thing for a family in these trying times.

Set: a modern kitchen with a table, four padded chairs, a stove and fridge. A framed picture of Jesus, looking healthy and wise, smiles down from high on a wall. A corner bookstand holds a Cathedral or
Gothic style radio with CD, a small American flag and an open bible.
A fresh pot of coffee’s on the stove. A folded newspaper, a cup of milk, a cup of sugar, a jar of blueberry jam and sliced bread are on the table.
The hallway, living room and stairs lead to the second floor OSR.

Level of Difficulty: 7/10 – If played by actors who aren’t American, getting the accent correct should be a priority. It’s very tongue in cheek in style and should be played that way if played as a satire.
