Girl/Boy: My name…is Taylor.

Scene 1:
Jerusalem, town setting. The 11 apostles (PETER, JAMES ANDREW, PHILLIP, BARTHOLOMEW, MATTHEW, THOMAS, SECOND JAMES, THADDEUS and SIMON) are walking through a square.

THADDEUS: I’m telling you, we should have Chinese. It’s too warm for curry.

BARTHOLOMEW: I agree, curry would just sit too heavily in the stomach.

THOMAS: (incredulously) Too heavily in the stomach?! Its curry, it’s MEANT to be heavy!

A Poor Excuse to Necromancy (Scene division is rather optional. Dismiss it if you wish.)

SCENE 1.
Dark, dimly lit room, stuffed with some forgotten furniture. For some reasons it reminds of a chapel and a barn simultaneously. Its actual status is irrelevant.

Someone Enters. He can be hardly seen in the weak light.
Boo. Anybody here?...
(Louder) Anybody here who wants to kill meh bloody vampaiar?...
Silence. Fine. Hope this means I’m alone. At last.
What’s the goddamn habit – to look for death? Am I a curiosity of some kind? Or, maybe, it’s kinda some stupid heroic deed – to rush at me with swords and spears? Oh, actually that guy’A Poor Excuse to Necromancy5 years ago in One-Act Contest

Who am I now? - editedCharacters

Rebecca: A 14-year-old girl looking for her identity at the moment. Her clothes, hairstyle and mannerisms change drastically throughout the play: she's the proper daughter, then the apathetic emo kid, and finally the preppy middle-school girl.

Rebecca's parents: Every bit the 'proper' parents. Rebecca's father wears a suit and carry a suitcase, as though he's just come back from work, while her mother wears simple clothes and an apron. Both are in their late 30s.

Trisha: 15 years old, Rebecca's preppy best friend. Cheerful and easygoing type. Her outfit in the play consists of tight jeans, a pink T-shirt and high-heeled sandals.Who am I now? - edited5 years ago in One-Act Contest

StationsSTATIONS

Catechism Class:

Nun describes the Stations of the Cross to the audience. She explains that Mel Gibson's film is actually more of a description of the Catholic Stations of the Cross than just a straight biblical portrayal of the Passion. (Somewhere in the scene she needs to call a precocious child who is a plant in the audience up to stand beside her for talking. After finishing she will drag him off the stage by his ear while admonishing him for interrupting and telling him he needs to go to confession.)

[Above the stage is a projection of subtitles of the plays themes and during foreign language sequences the dialog.]
