How Revolutions Get Started

Ivan Battle, Brittney Williams, Tim Craig, and Sandy Sardar in the Theatre UAB production

A nice opportunity for two actors who specialize in silent expression! A pair of maintenance workers listen in escalating astonishment as their employers complain about how difficult their own lives are and how hard they work.

I imagine we've all felt like them at one time or another. In fact, this play's dialogue comes -- almost word-for-word -- from a conversation two of my employers held within my hearing at one of the temp jobs I did as a young man.

Once you've read the play you'll understand why I hasten to add that I did NOT respond the way the maintenance people in this play do.

I may have thought about it, but I didn't do it.

This script, along with a few other short scripts of mine, is in the collection PUSHED TO THE LIMIT.
