J. NICOLE BROOKS. AWARD WINNING PLAYWRIGHT SAVES THE WORLD

Ciao lovers!

In honour of World Theatre Day, I've taken a page out of playwright Suzan Lori-Parks' book and have decided to write, not just a play a day...but a play per minute.


365  (1 minute plays )PLAYS BY J. NICOLE BROOKS

BIOGRAPHY
In 2010 J. Nicole Brooks author of 3 plays decided to use her unemployed time wisely. She decided to write a play a minute until the world changed.  On March 27, 2010 Ms. Brooks was awarded the Pulitser Award for Writing. Yes, the Pulitser. She is changing the world.


BAKERS YEAST

Lights up on a young man sitting in the doctors office. He fidgets with nearby cotton balls and doctor shit he has no business touching.  The doctor enters. The young man perks up.

DOCTOR
So...I was right. It is a yeast infection.

YOUNG MAN
A yeast infection? On my tongue?!

DOCTOR
Yes, I'm afraid so.

YOUNG MAN
Gosh, what will I do? I can't afford--

DOCTOR
Never to worry, we have health care reform now.

YOUNG MAN
Oh yeah....thanks doctor!

DOCTOR
No, thank Obama.

THE END

JOE SIXX PACK, SOCIALIST TRUCKER

Lights up on a greasy spoon diner. A mixture of customers.  Cops, black ladies with church hats, yuppies, truck drivers, hip hop posers etc.,  Ambient cafe noises fill the air.  One red neck truck driver looks at the TV playing above. Sarah Palin appears on a Fox News show. He stares at the TV. Sarah Palin talks and talks and talks...

JOE SIXX PACK
Sarah Palin. Hmph.
I hope that bitch chokes on a moose burger.

THE END.

Well listen, I'd love to share more plays with you, but I have to have my photo shoot with Dame Judy Dench & Lynn Nottage. Because I am saving the world. One key stroke at a time.
