SYNOPSIS

Suspense/Drama. A playground altercation between eleven-year-old boys brings together two sets of Brooklyn parents for a meeting to resolve the matter. At first, diplomatic niceties are observed, but as the meeting progresses, and the rum flows, tensions emerge and the gloves come off, leaving the couples with more than just their liberal principles in tatters.

CHARACTER DESCRIPTIONS 

All ages, genders, and ethnicities will be considered.

Annette Raleigh (40s- Alan’s wife) | At first presenting herself as an elite member of the one percent, she is actually on the brink of a panic attack.  Her self-confidence has been eroded by her husband Alan’s eternal preoccupation with work.

Alan Raleigh (40s- Annette’s husband) | An openly rude corporate lawyer, he frequently interrupts their meeting by talking on his cell phone.  At first seen as cool and aloof, he is sexist and always acts in his own self-interest.

Veronica Novak (40s- Michael’s wife) | A writer - she pictures herself as the queen of social conscience and common courtesy – but is really judgmental and domineering.  As the situation disintegrates, she fails to maintain her crumbling façade of civility.

Michael Novak (40s- Veronica’s husband) | Initially presenting as hospitable, a loving father, and a doting husband, his uncouth nature is gradually revealed, progressing to a neurotic Neanderthal.

VPH’S COMMITMENT TO DIVERSITY, EQUITY, AND INCLUSION
