Description
THE LIE – SHORT COMEDY FOR TWO ACTORS
It’s time for Marvin to come clean. And so he sits his wife, Marilyn down in their living room and admits it. He lied. But what to do about it…. The FBI are on their way and they’ll know. They always know. It’s very possible, probable even, that he’ll go to prison for ten years at least. If he’s lucky in this short comedy for two actors.
Marilyn, his wife is torn. They could say that Marvin was just a little public servant who listened to orders from above and never knew what he was getting into. But on the other hand, she considers, what should she wear to his indictment? And what should Marvin wear? Grey would go down well. That would paint a sombre picture….
But Marvin has his own ideas about the future. With a little lie thrown in.
