 A Youth Theatre 'Play In A Day'

This little playlet was written VERY quickly (first and only draft) for a ‘play in a day’ at a youth theatre with LOTS of kids! It’s (hopefully) fun and silly, with a slightly more adult message underneath...

SCENE FIVE

News item: Earthquake warning.

CAST

Clark Essex; Lois Vain; Newsreader.

CLARK

Uh. Wait a moment. A news bulletin’s coming through on the holographic TV channel.

[Enter NEWSREADER].

NEWSREADER

News in from London, England. The British Prime Minister exploded this afternoon at a garden barbecue to raise funds to demolish the Millennium Dome. First reports indicate that there was some accident involving lighter fluid and a cigar. The American President expressed sympathy to the British people, saying he knew all about the dangers of cigars. Members of the Women’s Institute are helping police with their inquiries.

On a more serious note, reports are coming in from Japan of a massive earthquake in Tokyo registering ten on the Richter scale...

CLARK

[Turning HoloTV off]. Uh, Lois. Would you excuse me for a moment? I just need to feed the parking meter.

LOIS

Yeah, sure thing, Clark. [As CLARK leaves]. I didn’t know you had a car.

CLARK

Uh, no. I have a push bike, actually.

[CLARK exits and turns into SUPERMAN].
